Hi Guillaume,

if not obvious here are some usage examples:

 - novice user learning SQL or PL/pgSQL
 - user learning PostGIS
 - user documenting own functions

I've also attached two images:

[1] auto-completion PostGIS function
[2] calltip describing function basics, and providing information about parameters and return values


OK, that's what I thought it was. Nobody's working on this yet, AFAICT. We have completion, but not that kind of things. A patch would be great.
 

Apologies for posting in wrong list, would be great if Administrator could move the message thread to appropriate group.


That won't happen. This isn't a web forum :)
 

Thanks,
Klo

Hi,

I believe SQL Editor in pgAdmin wx GUI is Scintilla.
Scintilla supports calltips (as in SciTE with *.api files).

If above is true, is there a way to make SQL Editor support calltips on user defined commands?


pgAdmin uses scintilla on the SQL query tool. I think I get what calltips are, not sure what we should do with those on the query tool. Wanna explain a bit more?

Thanks.

PS: this should better go to pgadmin-support mailing list.
