Eric Bresie commented on NETBEANS-188:
--------------------------------------
>From Matthias on mailing list
the starting point for the code completion is in SQLCompletionProvider (module
SQL Editor). The provider is registered in the layer (layer.xml, line 56). if I
understand the sequence correctly, first #getAutoQueryTypes is invoced to check
whether a popup with suggestions should be shown without the user explicitly
asking for it.
If either #getAutoQueryTypes return a non-zero value or the user explicitly
asks for completion, #createTask is invoked with the requested type. In case of
SQL it is org.netbeans.modules.db.sql.editor.completion.SQLCompletionQuery.
I see options to provide quick completion based on SQL grammer, with additional
completion when a db connection is established.

> 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.
