Hi Attached is a mighty trivial patch to extend psql tab completion for \c / \connect to generate a list of role names, as lack thereof was annoying me recently and I can't see any downside to doing this.
The patch is a whole two lines so I haven't submitted it to the next commitfest but will happily do so if appropriate. Regards Ian Barwick -- Ian Barwick http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
