Thread: Miscellaneous tab completion issue fixes

Hi,

There were a couple of tab completion issues present:
a) \dRp and \dRs tab completion displays tables instead of displaying
publications and subscriptions.
b) "ALTER ... OWNER TO" does not include displaying of CURRENT_ROLE,
CURRENT_USER and SESSION_USER.

The attached patch has the changes to handle the same.

Regards,
Vignesh

Good catches! Just a few comments:

These are version-specific queries, so should be passed in their
entirety to COMPLETE_WITH_VERSIONED_QUERY() so that psql can pick the
right version, and avoid sending the query at all if the server is too
old.

I think this would read better without the TO, both in the comment and
the constant name, similar to the below only having GRANT without TO:

+1.

Keywords_for_list_of_grant_roles is used in six code paths, so it
seems to me that there is little gain in having a separate #define
here.  Let's just specify the list of allowed roles (RoleSpec) where
OWNER TO is parsed.

I have removed the macro and specified the allowed roles.

Thanks for the comments, the attached v2 patch has the changes for the same.
