Thread: psql tab completion patch

INSERTs, one can now tab complete DEFAULT VALUES.

Couldn't you just append "DEFAULT VALUES" in one run, rather than having
to tab twice?

That's a good idea. I like it, but the only drawback is is that the
output when you tab twice to get the possible completions could be a bit
confusing. Doesn't really matter though.. Here's the updated patch.
