See :help modeline For instance, add near the top or bottom of the file a line with either -- vim: ft=sql (modeline form 1, which goes to the end of the line) or /* vim: set ft=sql :*/ (modeline form 2, which can be followed by a colon and then anything, such as a comment terminator) as an SQL comment, and optionally with additional options to be set for that file as with :setlocal. Anything is allowed before the " vim:" modeline leader; usually a comment leader for the current language is placed there.
