@Jason3S It tinkered around a bit with your suggestions and it works! thank you! All it needed was the globRoot This is what fixed it:

  "version": "0.2", <-- was already there
  "overrides": [
    {
      "filename": "/**/{*.pgsql,*.psql}",
      "languageId": "sql"
    }
  ],
  "globRoot": "${cwd}",
