Thread: strange CREATE INDEX tab completion cases
These two tab completion pieces look strange to me:
/* If we have CREATE|UNIQUE INDEX <sth> CONCURRENTLY, then add "ON" */ else if ((pg_strcasecmp(prev3_wd, "INDEX")
==0 || pg_strcasecmp(prev2_wd, "INDEX") == 0) && pg_strcasecmp(prev_wd, "CONCURRENTLY") == 0)
COMPLETE_WITH_CONST("ON"); /* If we have CREATE|UNIQUE INDEX <sth>, then add "ON" or "CONCURRENTLY" */ else
if((pg_strcasecmp(prev3_wd, "CREATE") == 0 || pg_strcasecmp(prev3_wd, "UNIQUE") == 0) &&
pg_strcasecmp(prev2_wd,"INDEX") == 0) { static const char *const list_CREATE_INDEX[] = {"CONCURRENTLY",
"ON",NULL};
COMPLETE_WITH_LIST(list_CREATE_INDEX); }
They appear to support a syntax along the lines of
CREATE INDEX name CONCURRENTLY
which is not the actual syntax.

Yep. That's visibly a bug introduced by this commit:
commit: 37ec19a15ce452ee94f32ebc3d6a9a45868e82fd

Support new syntax and improve handling of parentheses in psql tab-completion.
The current implementation is missing a correct completion in a couple
of cases, among them:
-- Should be only ON
=# create index asd
CONCURRENTLY ON
-- should give list of table
=# create index CONCURRENTLY aaa on
-- Should give ON and list of existing indexes
=# create index concurrently
Please see the attached to address those things (and others) with
extra fixes for a couple of comments.

I have ported these changes to the new world order and divided them up into more logical changes that are more clearly documented. Please check that this matches what you had in mind.

This new version looks fine to me. + /* If we have CREATE|UNIQUE INDEX CONCURRENTLY, then add "ON" and existing + indexes */ This comment format is not correct. -- Michael

One thing I just noticed is that CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY cannot be used within CREATE SCHEMA, so perhaps the lines that match the CONCURRENTLY keyword should use Matches() rather than TailMatches(). Similarly (but perhaps this is not workable) the lines that TailMatch() but do not Match() should not offer CONCURRENTLY after INDEX. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

This seems overcomplicated. I don't think there's any expectation that
tab completion is 100% right all the time. Let's just treat CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY the same as CREATE INDEX.
