@FrankChen021, thanks much for the explanation. Yes, I agree that the pop-up
list exists: it was noted in the description. The key is that I have to know
the function name ahead of time. For example `FLOOR` is commonly a function for
converting floats to ints, so us newbies wouldn't expect it to be the name of a
date-time function. Thus, some kind of UI tool to show functions grouped by
category would help when we don't know the name.
Note also that this pop-up disappears once I type the opening paren. But,
that is exactly the time when the parameters are needed. Type "time_" pick
TIME_CEIL, type "(". Pop-up is gone. What are the parameters again? That is one
of the issues described here.
Yes, a workaround is to start a new expression with the same function, see
the parameter list again, and go back and fill in the parameters for the first
function. Highly awkward, but I agree that it technically works.
Of course, I find it easier to keep a tab open with the SQL documentation
rather than fuss with the UI. This request is to modify the UI so I don't need
to have that doc. tab open.
