No. You misunderstood me. I think that the vim can recognized the file

But the default syntax highlight facility in vim doesn't reliably
syntax highlight SQL code embedded in a bash script. In the following
example, the SQL code after "*.txt" is not recognized correctly.
The syntax highlighting for PHP handles highlighting other languages
within heredocs. Perhaps you can find a solution somewhere in there.
I believe it 'detects' the language via the heredoc label, though, so
you might need to use<<SQL
SQL
instead of<<EOF
EOF

As I see it, the script is being highlighted correctly from sh's
viewpoint, as a heredoc is essentially just a long string.
What you appear to want is for the sh syntax script to recognize sqlite3
in the command and highlight the following heredoc using that other
syntax. As Ben H pointed out, it is possible to use the syn-include
approach to get what you want. I suggest writing a bit of extra syntax
handling for this purpose and put it in your .vim/after/syntax/sh.vim
file. Such a region would be recognized at the outset with sqlite3,
etc. However, I don't think sh.vim is the place to try to recognize
every possible language that heredoc strings might be using.
