[PATCH] Tab completion for ALTER TABLE … ADD … - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hi Hackers,

The other day I noticed that there's no tab completion after ALTER TABLE
… ADD, so here's a patch.  In addition to COLUMN and all the table
constraint types, it also completes with the list of unique indexes on
the table after ALTER TABLE … ADD … USING INDEX.
