So I wanted to start associating most of my plain text files to open in TextMate and I was hit with a big "bummer". It appears that .sql is not an ending the TextMate developers had thought would be a text file and thus, I get the blank icon instead of the nice TextMate Text Document icon.
Is there a way to tell the Finder that I want the TextMate icon no matter what the file extension?
Thanks, Patrick
P.S. I'm fairly new on the OS X platform coming from Windows for the past few years and the OS 7 and 8 before that.
Patrick,
I think what you want to do is this:
- Select a .sql file - Hit File > Get Info - Under "Open with", select TextMate from the pulldown menu. If it's not listed, select "Other..." and choose it from the dialog. - Hit the "Change All..." button and confirm the change
Hope that works for you.

John,
That is what I did...unfortunately, since TextMate doesn't define an icon for .sql, I get a bland blank icon. It still opens TextMate, but displays "TextMate Document" instead of "Text Document" for the type.

Yes, edit the Info.plist file for TextMate. You'll see all of the other extensions in there, too.
