Update to extension seems to have change the syntax color coding scheme

[cstyve]

It appears the latest MSSQL extension changed the color scheme for syntax highlighting. Where is the code stored regarding syntax highlighting and how to revert back to the original?

@cstyve Can you please provide additional details on the change you're mentioning? I'm not aware of any recent changes in this area, but I can take a look at what you're seeing.

It's also worth checking if your VS Code color theme updated recently, that's the most common cause of unexpected syntax coloring changes.

If you'd like to override the extension's grammar and fall back to VS Code's built-in SQL highlighting, you can add this to your settings.json:

"[sql]": {
    "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
        "textMateRules": []
    }
}

You can also restyle specific token scopes under editor.tokenColorCustomizations if only certain keywords/elements look off to you.

Thank you for the prompt reply. It turned out the theme with beside was changed by me accidentally. chris styve
