Would it be possible for the MySQL specific highlighter to extend a general SQL highlighter, making it possible for people to simply extend the core SQL standard highlighter for things like Postgre and Oracle as well?

If take a more close look at the package, you'll find out that creating a new highlighter is just a process of describing the highlighting rules in XML format. One could take the XML for general SQL and edit it to conform standards of a certain SQL dialect. That is really simple. At the moment I don't see any reason to implement any kind of inheritance. If you know such a reason, please let me know, -- Andrey Demenev aka Blindman demenev@on-line.jar.ru
