MySQL uses # as comments along with the standard SQL '--' at the beginning. However, # is not standard SQL and therefore when using SQL Server/Oracle, etc. things marked with # are still shown as comment in the code even if they aren't comments. SQL Server specifically uses # ## to denote temporary tables. Therefore, until someone figures out how to write a mysql exception to the syntax highlighting, I would suggest we suppress this rule.
