They are parentheses across different strings.

I mean there are 3 strings and you want parentheses in string 1 (yellow) to match parentheses in string 3 (red). I am not saying it’s not possible but that makes more problems than it solves, probably.

For example, given ("("), should the ( in "(" matches )? No.

Nothing wrong in your code grammatically (SQL injection welcome though). It’s just that ST won’t match parentheses across strings. If you want to workaround that badly in ST,

  • Find a way to write your strings into a single string such as
    • heredoc
    • string interpolation
  • Use an ORM. I guess you would’ve done already if you want and sometimes people still have to write raw SQL.
  • Invent your own ST plugin for whatever rules you want (like what BracketHighlighter plugin does). Sounds like a big effort for little gain but maybe this is actually easy idk.
  • Create a feature request ticket on GitHub. I don’t think it will be fulfilled officially though.
