Matthias Bläsing commented on NETBEANS-188:
-------------------------------------------
Actually SQL completion it pretty much in line with the java editor. In the
java editor you don't getting random completion when you start typing. Only
after hitting a "." you get an automatic popup. I can imagine, that a
completion like the one in phpmyadmin could be helpful, but it needs better
completion first. I have not looked to deep into options, but one question that
comes to mind is, do we need context sensitive completion, or could a
completion on the SQL keywords work?
If completion based on SQL grammar is implemented, completion without a
connection would make more sense.
When a connection is open, functions and (some) keywords can be queries from
the connection properties. These could flow into completion.

> Afaik, the SQL Editor, is the only one, where you don't have code completion,
> while typing. It only appears after you hit ctrl + space, which is weird. It
> should be there per default. If not, there should be an option that code
> completion should always be possible, in any cases and you can deactivate it,
> if you don't want it.
> For each keyword, table, view whatever, I have to type a character and hit
> ctrl + space. It would be very nice to have the same code completion feature
> as in java or other languages, that the code completion comes up, while
> typing. For example:
> Type "S" -> code completion should come immediately and should show you the
> results. Same for everything like tables, views, databases, aliases and
> columns.
