To avoid messing other filetypes, you could also create a filetype-plugin, named

(Unix) ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/sql.vim
(Windows) $HOME/vimfiles/after/ftplugin/sql.vim

and containing the line

setlocal comments:--

But maybe there is an already known sql dialect using this kind of
comment leader, see
:help ft-sql.txt
:help sql-dialects

Tony.
