Thread: CREATE tab completion

CREATE tab completion

Hi hackers,

I noticed that there are some tab completions missing for the following 
commands:
-CREATE CONVERSION : missing FOR, TO, FROM
-CREATE DOMAIN : missing after AS
-CREATE LANGUAGE : missing after HANDLER
-CREATE SCHEMA : missing AUTHORIZATION, IF NOT EXISTS
-CREATE SEQUENCE : missing AS
-CREATE TRANSFORM : missing after FOR

I made a patch for this, so please have a look.

Best wishes,

Those three lines are wrong, for two different reasons and three
mistakes.  You may want to compile your code before sending it :)

"CREATE [TEMP|TEMPORARY] SEQUENCE name AS" could be completed with the
supported types.  There are three of them.

+               COMPLETE_WITH_QUERY(Query_for_list_of_schemas
+                                                       " UNION SELECT 'AUTORIZATION'");
Incorrect completion here, s/AUTORIZATION/AUTHORIZATION/.

+       else if (Matches("CREATE", "CONVERSION", MatchAny))
+               COMPLETE_WITH("FOR");
Why didn't you consider DEFAULT for the set of changes with
conversions?

+       else if (Matches("CREATE", "SCHEMA"))
+               COMPLETE_WITH("AUTHORIZATION", "IF NOT EXISTS");
+       else if (Matches("CREATE", "SCHEMA", "IF", "NOT", "EXISTS"))
We don't do any completion for INE or IE in the other object types.

+       /* CREATE LANGUAGE */
+       else if (Matches("CREATE", "LANGUAGE", MatchAny))
+               COMPLETE_WITH("HANDLER");
+       else if (Matches("CREATE", "LANGUAGE", MatchAny, "HANDLER", MatchAny))
+               COMPLETE_WITH("INLINE", "VALIDATOR");
It looks like you forgot the case of "OR REPLACE" here?  This is done
for triggers, for example.

Thank you for the comments.

I am sorry for the compile error and a typo. I will make sure to compile 
before sending it and double check typos.

For this part, I did the following:
+    else if (TailMatches("CREATE", "SEQUENCE", MatchAny, "AS") ||
+             TailMatches("CREATE", "TEMP|TEMPORARY", "SEQUENCE", MatchAny, 
"AS"))
+        COMPLETE_WITH("smallint", "integer", "bigint");

Am I doing this right? or Are there better ways to do it?

That looks fine per se.

The part about CREATE SCHEMA was itching me a bit, until I recalled
this recent thread which has a more complete logic:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/87im0efqhp.fsf@wibble.ilmari.org

The rest looks good, I'll take care of that in a bit.

FWIW, I would be a bit perplexed to see type names suggested in
upper-cases, even if it is acceptable by the parser.  If you type-in
the following phrase:

=# type boo<tab>

it is completed to "boolean" but,

=# type BOO<tab>

doesn't respond.

So we could use COMPLETE_WITH_CS instead so that CREATE SEQUENCE
behavess the same way with the existing behavior of TYPE.

Makes sense.

Another issue I have noticed with the patch is that it forgets to
apply quotes for the FROM/TO clauses of CREATE CONVERSION, making the
queries fail.  \encoding does not care about that but we do for this
set of DDLs.  So I have discarded this part.

One extra issue was in CREATE TRANSFORM, where we should handle "OR
REPLACE" like the others.  And a last issue I had was with CREATE
LANGUAGE where we would miss TRUSTED.  This last one cannot be
completed, but we'd better allow its completion if we can.  That makes
things a bit tense if you add on top of that the handling of "OR
REPLACE".

I have fixed (or discarded) that, and the parts for sequences, domains
and transforms remained.  That looked like good enough on its own, so
applied those parts of the patch.

Thank you very much!

I assume Michael has committed the modified version of the patch.
Therefore, I changed the status to"committed" in Commitfest 2022-01.
