Description

Language
SQL is an option in Prism, but each dialect/flavour (i.e. MySQL, PL\SQL (Oracle), Transact-SQL (SQL Server)), etc have their own nuances, functions, keywords. Could individual languages be added for these dialects. These would likely be an extend of the sql language.

I'm happy to give T-SQL a go, but don't know if others would be interested in doing so, or if there is interest.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Prism's existing SQL language definition and the linked MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL documentation. Confirm which dialects are in scope and how they should extend SQL; done means the selected dialect grammars recognize their documented dialect-specific syntax.
