From the svn manual:

"To determine whether a contextual merge is possible, Subversion examines the svn:mime-type property. If the file has no svn:mime-type property, or has a MIME type that is textual (e.g., text/*), Subversion assumes it is text. Otherwise, Subversion assumes the file is binary. Subversion also helps users by running a binary-detection algorithm in the svn import and svn add commands. These commands will make a good guess and then (possibly) set a binary svn:mime-type property on the file being added. (If Subversion guesses wrong, the user can always remove or hand-edit the property.)"

Are you saying svn is adding the invalid mime type to your .sql files when you add them? I can't imagine why. Unless you are using some strange encoding or line ending.

Of course, if it does add the mime type on its own, you have no choice but to specify it. My assumption was that someone manually added this mime type incorrectly rather than it being set erroneously by svn.
