A very simple plugin to enable SQL syntax highlighting inside strings in a Clojure file. If you can handle the visual trip of two syntax highlighters co-existing, this plugin will provide.
Works with the standard vimclojure plugin.
- Be using the vimclojure plugin already!
- Install Pathogen. (You're already using Pathogen, right?)
- Clone this project into
~/.vim/bundle/vim-clojure-sql.
Whenever you edit a Clojure file, strings starting with "SELECT, "INSERT,
"UPDATE, "DELETE, "CREATE or "DROP will be highlighted as SQL.
Matches are case-sensitive, because that's my preference, but it's trivial to fork & change the matching rules to suit your coding style.
This repo serves as a reasonable recipe for embedded Vim syntax highlighting in general. The next time I'm there, I'll probably write a plugin for SQL inside Hibernate XML files. Highlighting code inside docstrings is another obvious use of this approach.
Thanks to Max Bane who figured out the hard stuff when when mixing Tex with Python.
vim-java-sql - the same plugin for SQL inside Java files.
