I am sorry I can't help you with your question but I believe you could
help me. I have been looking for a way to define my own colorization
scheme for a particular mode type. One of the ones I was needing to
define was PL/SQL. You indicated there was a SQL and PL/SQL mode in
Emacs. I was not aware that this existed. How can I get this mode?
And, maybe you can help me understand how I can define my own mode or
colorizations as well. I have bought books on Emacs (which are few and
far between) but none of them talk about defining your own mode.
I have asked this list the question of how you define your own colors.
After a few responses of RTFM to you can colorize text with the
font-lock-mode command I gave up on getting what I was looking for.
The manual describes and gives examples of adding keywords. This is
not what I am looking for. I want to know how adding keywords works.
It appears when you add keywords you use a type face definition like
font-lock-warning-face. I don't want to use whatever
font-lock-warning-face is using as a color or type definition. I want
to be able to use my own colors when defining patterns. This is what I
need to know.
Could/would you point me in a direction to find out how to define my
own colors for specific patterns?
Could/would you point me in a direction to understanding what it would
take to define my own mode?
Could/would you let me know how to use SQL or PL/SQL editing modes?
Thanks,
Robert Pollard

Oracle Pro*C is basically a pre-processor. It takes a source file
written in C and containing SQL statements. Hence the name embedded
SQL.
The pre-processor replaces all SQL statements by C statements &
function calls. In the end what you have is C source code that is
then compiled and linked with Oracle libraries.
This is a very basic description of what it does but you get the idea.
Is anyone aware of such a mode available for Pro*C? I know of a SQL
mode and PL/SQL mode but can't find a mode for Pro*C or embedded
SQL/C.
Should I write such a mode? Is it very difficult? It would basically
be an extension to the available C mode. There is already modes
for SQL and PL/SQL out there so I figure I would use that too.
What do you guys think?
