The root problem is with file formats that are not your own. You don't control/own the .sql format and neither does Coda, so who gets to choose the UTI?
The OS does keep a list of UTIs for common formats:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
You should file a bug to get .sql added there. I've previously got 'industry standard' formats added to the OS (ex: org.nema.dicom) via Radars.
At least you and Coda are talking about the same format. Worse, is when two totally different formats happen to use the same extension, like .img, that sucks even worse.
Cheers,
