It is real common in Rails tutorials (especially those written for versions of Rails before the migrations feature was added) to create SQL scripts in the "db" directory of a Rails project. We should have an option for this on the new file dialogs, and (of course) syntax highlighting in the editor. (Using trunk build 2177, ruby build 175)
Well, you can create an SQL script using the File | New, category "Other", "Empty File" template. Create a file with extension sql and see that you will get syntax coloring, you can even execute the script if you have any databases registered in NetBeans. It sure would be nice to have a template for SQL files to improve discoverability (is that a word in English?:-). Reassigning to DB module for that. Once we have that we could put the SQL File into prefered template for RoR project if desired.
