Emacs Sources
tsql-indent.el
This is an indentation function for SQL mode. It was written with Transact SQL in mind.
user-add-sql-folding-marks
This is a simple function that adds folding-mode marks to SQL sources. It is quick and dirty, but is fairly useful for me.
remove-line-boundary-in-region
This function removes all the line boundaries in a region. This, in effect, collapses all the lines in the region onto one line.
convert-camel-to-underscore
This function converts all the text that is camel cased in a particular region to underscore separated text.
