IntelliJ is aware of SQL in text strings, and even validates it against the database schema.

I like my SQL right next to the code that sets parameters, processes results, etc - mismatches are apparent (and also validated by IntelliJ).

Not just SQL, but any language. It's one of my favourite (and IMO very under-appreciated) features of the Jetbrains editors.

Intellij also automatically escapes your string and inputs newlines wherever necessary, so if you copy a long string, it's generally done for you (I've copied pieces of XML and it generally worked totally fine).
