Thread: TABLE tab completion
TABLE tab completion in psql only completes to tables, not views. but the TABLE command works fine for both tables and views (and also sequences). Seems we should just complete it to relations and not tables - or can anyone see a particular reason why we shouldn't? Trivial patch attached. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Meh - you are correct, of course. I guess that's why we have code review :-) So - not a oneliner, but how about something like this? (Happy to have someone point out a neater way of doing it, not entirely fluent in how we do the tab completion..) -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

That's pretty much it. Should it also (eventually) do SRFs?

Rebased on top of the changes Tom made to the infrastructure, and applied. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
