Apologies again, I meant sqloracle.vim and not sql.vim. The issues I had with 
autocompletion were a couple of months back and I forget the details - I'll 
recheck and post in a separate thread if needed so as not to hijack Szilard's, 
but yes I use $HOME\vimfiles (or $HOME/.vim on Mac).

That would certainly work, and I have done something similar for numeric and 
string literals (using "hi link Number String"). However I want my colour 
scheme to work across all languages including those - if they exist - where 
there is a useful highlighting distinction to be made between operators and 
other keywords.

Anyway this forum is a great find and I'll certainly be back with more 
questions.
