Thread: psql tab completion
Clean up psql: Add simple ALTER DATABASE, ALTER TRIGGER, CHECK POINT, CREATE CONVERSION, CREATE DOMAIN, CREATE LANGUAGE, DEALLOCATE, DROP CONVERSION, DROP DOMAIN, DROP LANGUAGE, EXECUTE, PREPARE Complete CAST in CREATE CAST and DROP CAST but doesn't suggest what should follow. Add many more SET / SHOW variables to the list. Taken from SHOW ALL output. Complete a case sensitive search to allow \dD, \dd, \dS, \ds, \h, \H to complete properly. But there are no matches, then try a case insensitive search to allow case conversion. Add all missing help options. \Q<tab> -> \q \dD<tab> -> \dD \dd<tab> -> \dd \D<tab><tab><tab> -> \d (with listing of \d? commands) sel<tab> -> SELECT > On the other hand, in psql , tab-completion doesn't seem to > work for certain commands : > > ALTER DATABASE ; ALTER TRIGGER ; CHECKPOINT ; CREATE CAST ; > CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER ; CREATE CONVERSION ; CREATE DOMAIN ; > CREATE LANGUAGE ; DEALLOCATE ; DROP CAST ; DROP CONVERSION ; > DROP DOMAIN ; DROP LANGUAGE ; EXECUTE ; PREPARE > > ( this could be considered a low priority todo item , though ) -- Rod Taylor
