I don't know Emacs, I'm a vi guy. ;-)

But I guess that Emacs shows the matching closing bracket at the beginning of the line, which matches that single tuple. But you also need a closing bracket for the set of tuples like this:

insert ...
(
(v1, v2, v3),
(v4, v5, v6),
(v7, v8, v9) <= this is the bracket pair that Emacs shows as matching.
); <= this is the missing bracket.

Cheers,
Paul
