If I understand you right, here's such an example you're after:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TITLE:     Using the listings package
#+AUTHOR:    Seb Vauban
#+DATE:      2010-08-06
#+LANGUAGE:  en_US

* Code

This must be nice to see in LaTeX.

#+SRCNAME: srcModifyDB1.sql
#+BEGIN_SRC sql :tangle srcModifyDB.sql
    -- add column `DossierSentToSecteur' (if column does not exist yet)
    IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT *
                   FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
                   WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'dossier'
                   AND COLUMN_NAME = 'DossierSentToSecteur')
    BEGIN
        ALTER TABLE dossier
        ADD DossierSentToSecteur smalldatetime NULL
    END
    GO
#+END_SRC

Right?

* Much better code

For that, you need to customize =listings=:

#+begin_LaTeX
% typeset source code listings
\usepackage{listings} % must be loaded after `babel'
\lstloadlanguages{C}
\definecolor{sva@lstbackground}{HTML}{FFFFCC} % light yellow
\definecolor{sva@lstkeyword}{HTML}{0000FF} % blue
\definecolor{sva@lstidentifier}{HTML}{000000} % black
\definecolor{sva@lstcomment}{HTML}{FF0000} % red
\definecolor{sva@lststring}{HTML}{008000} % dark green
\lstset{%
    basicstyle=\ttfamily\scriptsize, % the font that is used for the code
    tabsize=4, % sets default tabsize to 4 spaces
    numbers=left, % where to put the line numbers
    numberstyle=\tiny, % line number font size
    stepnumber=0, % step between two line numbers
    breaklines=false, %!! don't break long lines of code
    showtabs=false, % show tabs within strings adding particular underscores
    showspaces=false, % show spaces adding particular underscores
    showstringspaces=false, % underline spaces within strings
    keywordstyle=\color{sva@lstkeyword},
    identifierstyle=\color{sva@lstidentifier},
    stringstyle=\color{sva@lststring},
    commentstyle=\color{sva@lstcomment},
    backgroundcolor=\color{sva@lstbackground}, % sets the background color
    captionpos=b, % sets the caption position to `bottom'
    extendedchars=false %!?? workaround for when the listed file is in UTF-8
}
#+end_LaTeX

#+SRCNAME: srcModifyDB2.sql
#+BEGIN_SRC sql :tangle srcModifyDB.sql
    -- add column `DossierSentToSecteur' (if column does not exist yet)
    IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT *
                   FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
                   WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'dossier'
                   AND COLUMN_NAME = 'DossierSentToSecteur')
    BEGIN
        ALTER TABLE dossier
        ADD DossierSentToSecteur smalldatetime NULL
    END
    GO
#+END_SRC
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

with the following in my `.emacs' file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
      (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist
            '(("AUTO" "inputenc" t)
              ("T1" "fontenc" t)
              ("" "fixltx2e" nil)
              ("" "graphicx" t)
              ("" "longtable" nil)
              ("" "float" nil)
              ("" "wrapfig" nil)
              ("" "soul" t)
              ("" "t1enc" t)
              ("" "textcomp" t)
              ("" "marvosym" t)
              ("" "wasysym" t)
              ("" "latexsym" t)
              ("" "amssymb" t)
              ("" "hyperref" nil)
              "\\tolerance=1000"))

      ;; tell org to use listings (instead of verbatim) for source code
      (setq org-export-latex-listings t)

      ;; if you want fontified source code, then you must include the
      ;; `listings' package
      (add-to-list 'org-export-latex-packages-alist '("" "listings"))

      ;; if you want colored source code, then you need to include the
      ;; `xcolor' package
      (add-to-list 'org-export-latex-packages-alist '("" "xcolor"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I've put the PDF (for easy access) onto my Web site:
