Okay the previous helps a great deal... I've updated to the points where it basically ignores the db connection aspect (for now) and allows SQL autocomplete to work so far.
I'm emphasizing the case when there are no connections for now. When there are no connections available, I wanted to add some connection options (i.e. create, select connection, logon to connection, etc.). Figured during this context it could establish connection and populate the metadata at that time. How does one link up an item to do another activity like open up another dialog (i.e. for "create" link to "New Connection Wizard") based on a given selected item?
