I think it makes sense to only include currently-visible functions, but *not* only columns from currently visible tables, since we won't know yet whether the user intends to schema-qualify the table name. > (BTW I didn't check but does this > completion work if I schema-qualify a column name?) Peter's proposed tab-completion only kicks in for the column-name itself. Keep in mind, the user might be trying to enter: SELECT schema.table.column ... SELECT table.column ... SELECT table_alias.column ... SELECT column ... and presumably want to tab-complete the second token somehow. I'm a bit leery about trying to tab-complete those first two, and the third is right out. Just having the fourth would make me happy.
