OK, it works now. I understand a lot of improvements could come later,
but there is one thing that bugs me. And I think it should be fixed
before applying.

Let's say I wrote this:

SELECT * FROM person JOIN company ON

and try autocompletion afterwards. I get the list of columns in person
and company, which is great. The issue is that you only have the
column's name, not the table's name. So you don't know if the column
refers to the first table or the second. We could say it's not an issue
if we were sure they were all different. But if I have two times the id
column, it gets kinda weird. Maybe you should show the table's name in
front of the column's name.
 
Allright, another week, another patch :-)

Changes since last time:
- Support for aliasses (autocompletion on "select * from person p join company c on ...) will present a list of "p.id, p.name, c.id, c.name etc.)
- Support for queries without aliasses (select * from person where ...) 
- Support for queries without aliasses but with joins (select * from person join company on ...) 
- Support for queries with mixed versions (select * from person p join company on ...)
- Support for update statements (update person set ...)
- Support for autocompletion after SELECT (select ... from person)
- Fixed a crash
