[Feature Request] SQL strings

It would be great if the syntax highlighter could detect SQL in strings like it does for queryExecute(). I frequently break out my SQL statements from queryExecute(), and form them in a string before calling the function. For example:

public query function someSQL(someArg, ID){
    var sql = '';
    var params = {};
    if(ARGUMENTS.someArg == 'all') {
        sql &= 'SELECT * FROM someTable';
    } else if(ARGUMENTS.someArg == 'name'){
        sql &= 'SELECT name FROM someTable';
    }
    sql &= 'WHERE ID = :ID'
    params.ID = { value = ARGUMENTS.ID, sqltype = "INTEGER"};
    return query = queryExecute(sql, params, {datasource = DSN});
}

I don’t know how many people program like this, but if there was some reg ex that could detect either ‘sql =’ or ‘sql &=’ before a string, and then treat the string as SQL, it would help quite a bit. Thanks!

Adding those seems fine to me.

@jcberquist Would it be reasonable to add a couple more triggers? For consideration, it would be nice to have “TRUNCATE TABLE” and “BULK INSERT”. I’m not sure how many others would benefit from this, though I have some sections where this would apply for me.
