I'm using Visual Studio 2010 to edit DDL for a MySQL database in a file with a ".sql" extension. The IDE insists on providing red squiggles under perfectly legal MySQL syntax, presumably as it's not legal SQL Server syntax.
Is it possible to disable syntax highlighting for .SQL files?
Or, better still, is MySQL IntelliSense highlighting available?
Visual Studio 2010
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> Transact-SQL -> IntelliSense
Uncheck "Enable IntelliSense".
Visual Studio 2012 & 2013
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> SQL Server Tools -> IntelliSense
Uncheck "Underline errors"
Note that you have to close then re-open any .sql files you may have open.
Don't have VS 2010 in front of me now but it should be something close to
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> [Language] -> General -> Statemenent Completion
Uncheck the checkbox for Auto List Members
