When I presss Ctrl-Shift-C in an .sql file containing mysql code, the editor generates '--' characters (2 dashes) before each selected sentence. In mysql this should be '-- ' (2 dashes and a space) to be valid. Without the space, the following command would generate an error at the line of the comment. $ mysql mydb < testcode.sql I am not sure if there is a mechanism to detect if the .sql file contains mysql code, but I can propose two possible solutions: 1. Comment generation could be based on the first comment found in the document, starting from top. With this solution you can avoid detecting the sql syntax used. 2. The comments can be generated based on the driver of the selected connection on top of the edited document (there is a listbox next to the 'Connection:' label). (e.g. If the driver is for mysql then add a space after the dashes). Related link about the required space: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/ansi-diff-comments.html
