Answer 1

The SQL dialog is a special implementation of the SQL standard . Dialects differ from database to database. For example, Oracle does not have a LIMIT clause, while MySql. For PHPStorm to do code highlighting and syntax highlighting, you need to configure the dialect you are using. If you do not specify a dialect, PHPStorm will use a common dialect:

This means that a specific dialect is not specified. The result is basic SQL92-based coding assistance, including completion and highlighting of SQL keywords, as well as table and column names. Syntax error highlighting is not available. Therefore, the contents of the file are always displayed as syntactically correct. In addition, reformatting the code is not possible.
