SublimeRepl New Repl "No Repl for 'sql' " - postgresql

Question

I'm trying to set up a Sublime Text Repl for Postgres using Sublime Repl.
I've set up a new folder in Users/Packages/SublimeRepl/config called Postgres and added two files:
Main.sublime-menu has the following content
[
{
"id": "tools",
"children":
[{
"caption": "SublimeREPL",
"mnemonic": "R",
"id": "SublimeREPL",
"children":
[
{"command": "repl_open",
"caption": "PSQL",
"id": "repl_psql",
"mnemonic": "Q",
"args": {
"type": "subprocess",
"encoding": {"windows": "$win_cmd_encoding",
"linux": "utf-8",
"osx": "utf-8"},
"cmd": {"windows": ["psql.exe", "-a"],
"linux": ["psql","-U","tahnoon"],
"osx": ["psql","-U","tahnoon"]},
"cwd": "$file_path",
"cmd_postfix": "\n",
"env": {},
"suppress_echo": false,
"syntax": "Packages/SQL/SQL.tmLanguage"
}
}
]
}]
}
]
and Default.sublime-commands has the following content
[
{
"caption": "SublimeREPL: PSQL",
"command": "run_existing_window_command", "args":
{
"id": "repl_psql",
"file": "config/Postgres/Main.sublime-menu"
}
}
]
If I launch a repl and try and Eval from a file called test.sql with Ctrl+,F I get an error message Cannot Find Repl for 'sql'.
What am I doing wrong?

Discovered that the following key-value "external_id":"sql" does the trick:
[
{
"id": "tools",
"children":
[{
"caption": "SublimeREPL",
"mnemonic": "R",
"id": "SublimeREPL",
"children":
[
{"command": "repl_open",
"caption": "PSQL",
"id": "repl_sql",
"mnemonic": "Q",
"args": {
"type": "subprocess",
"encoding": {"windows": "$win_cmd_encoding",
"linux": "utf-8",
"osx": "utf-8"},
"cmd": {"windows": ["psql.exe","-U","tahnoon"],
"linux": ["psql","-U","tahnoon"],
"osx": ["psql","-U","tahnoon"]},
"cwd": "$file_path",
"cmd_postfix": "\n",
"cwd": "$file_path",
"external_id": "sql",
"suppress_echo": false,
"syntax": "Packages/SQL/SQL.tmLanguage"
}
}
]
}]
}
