1. outside NB make a new file [file].sql
2. inside NB make a new file [file] and specify extension "sql"
new/other/text file
#2 is recognized as text to edit
#1 is not
How can the extension ".sql" be added to the list of recognized text fiels?
Thanks.

It's as designed. The .sql is not recognized by default as text extension.
But you can force it easily (two ways):
1) Doing the step #2 and when entering new (not yet supported) extension
of the
file (in your case sql) in the second step of wizard. There is a check
box "Add to supported extensions" (just check it).
(Just read the help on that panel).
If you don't check it, just the new file could be recognized as textual.
2) Another way is to go to Tools | Options | IDE Configuration | System
| Object Types | Textual Objects and add to the "Extensions and MIME types"
new extension (in you case sql).

Hi,
the problem probably is that the file #2 is in fact "[file].sql.txt",
and therefore is recognized as a text file.
For recognizing unrecognized file as text you may:
1. For just one file, after double click on it, you will be asked whether
it should be converted to text. This means the file will be treated as a
text file.
2. For an extension (like "sql" in your case) go to:
Tools/Options/IDE Configuration/System/Textual Objects and add the
extension to "Extensions and MIME Types" property.

Not if you choose "file" in the second wizard panel and "sql" in the
third, which is what I assume Hanasaki meant - then "file.sql" is really
created. Then yes you need to explicitly convert it to text (see context
menu e.g.) or add .sql to the list of known text extensions.

This is what I was looking for <lots of menus ;)>:
Tools/Options/IDE Configuration/System/Textual Objects
- Works great Thanks
What I still do not understand is, why, when I explicitly made file.sql,
it was recognized as text but the existing .sql files were not. This is
what would seem to be a bug <although it was convenient to a degree>
I remember the past ability to "explicitly convert to text" but cant
seem to find it in 3.4B3 Where is it?
