Hi,


Look like the tab completion for CREATE TABLE ... AS is not proposed.


gilles=# CREATE TABLE test
(             OF            PARTITION OF

  The attached patch fix that and also propose the further completion 
after the AS keyword.


gilles=# CREATE TABLE test
(             AS            OF            PARTITION OF
gilles=# CREATE TABLE test AS
SELECT  WITH

Adding the patch to current commitfest.


Best regards,

Thanks for the patch!
It applies and builds cleanly, and it works as expected

"AS" is suggested after "CREATE TABLE t":

postgres=# CREATE TABLE t <TAB><TAB>
(             AS            OF            PARTITION OF

There is a bit more than SELECT and WITH as possible query for a CTAS.
How about VALUES, TABLE or even EXECUTE (itself able to handle a
SELECT, TABLE or VALUES)?

Right, I don't know how I have missed the sql-createtableas page in the 
documentation.

Patched v2 fixes the keyword list, I have also sorted by alphabetical 
order the CREATE TABLE completion (AS was at the end of the list).

It has also been re-based on current master.

Fun.  It has failed to apply here.

Anyway, I can see that a comment update has been forgotten.  A second
thing is that it requires two more lines to add the query keywords for
the case where a CTAS has a list of column names.  I've added both
changes, and applied the patch on HEAD.  That's not all the patterns
possible, but this covers the most useful ones.
