I cannot give a list of editors that will do it,
but I know that "vim" ("vi improved") does it.
It will also do syntax highlighting, but I do not know whether it knows
about SQL already or would need an additional SQL syntax description.
In vim, you can find matching parenthesis, with the "%" shorcut. Put
the cursor on one parenthesis, hit %, hop you jump to the
corresponding opening/closing parenthesis. (definitely a must-have for
certain language).
