Hi Robert,

The sql-mode comes standard with Emacs and XEmacs. If you want
to take a look at it, it's in lisp/progmodes/sql.el. It's very well
documented so you may be able to find what you are looking for.

A PL/SQL mode can be found here:

By the way, you can find a lot of good stuff at
http://www.emacswiki.org. Thanks again Alex!
