Re: Tab completion for large objects

List | pgsql-hackers |
Hi hackers, I noticed that psql's tab completion suggested TO immediately after GRANT ... ON LARGE OBJECT, and not after ON LARGE OBJECT <oid>. This is because LARGE OBJECT is the only two-word object type, so it thinks LARGE is the object type and OBJECT is the name. Attached are three patches that address this and other LO-related tab completion issues: 1. Tab complete OBJECT after GRANT|REVOKE ... ON LARGE, and TO/FROM after GRANT|REVOKE ... ON LARGE OBJECT 2. Tab complete filenames after \lo_export <oid> 3. Tab complete large object OIDs where relevant. This is less useful than completing names like for other objects, but it might still be handy. Separate patch in case it proves controversial or is deemed useless. - ilmari From b657b3d1a31af927231a7d51002d00d830f473b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Dagfinn=20Ilmari=20Manns=C3=A5ker?= <ilmari@ilmari.org> Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2025 19:21:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Improve tab completion around GRANT/REVOKE ... ON LARGE OBJECT Because large objects are the only two-word object type, it was completing with TO or FROM immediately after LARGE OBJECT, not after having entered the OID. --- src/bin/psql/tab-complete.in.c | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/bin/psql/tab-complete.in.c b/src/bin/psql/tab-complete.in.c index 53e7d35fe98..fe97179b979 100644 --- a/src/bin/psql/tab-complete.in.c +++ b/src/bin/psql/tab-complete.in.c @@ -4531,6 +4531,8 @@ match_previous_words(int pattern_id, COMPLETE_WITH_VERSIONED_SCHEMA_QUERY(Query_for_list_of_functions); else if (TailMatches("LANGUAGE")) COMPLETE_WITH_QUERY(Query_for_list_of_languages); + else if (TailMatches("LARGE")) + COMPLETE_WITH("OBJECT"); else if (TailMatches("PROCEDURE")) COMPLETE_WITH_VERSIONED_SCHEMA_QUERY(Query_for_list_of_procedures); else if (TailMatches("ROUTINE")) @@ -4589,9 +4591,11 @@ match_previous_words(int pattern_id, else if (Matches("ALTER", "DEFAULT", "PRIVILEGES", MatchAnyN, "TO", MatchAny)) COMPLETE_WITH("WITH GRANT OPTION"); /* Complete "GRANT/REVOKE ...
