On Unix platforms that tool does support the readline library and readline
has the infrastructure for completion but the SQLite shell code does not use it.

If I may plug my Python SQLite wrapper, it includes a shell compatible with
SQLite's one:

  http://apidoc.apsw.googlecode.com/hg/shell.html

Enhancements include completion support (quite tricky to do!), colour
output, easy extensibility, nicer dumps etc.  If you have APSW installed
then you can do this to run it:

  python -c 'import apsw;apsw.main()'  dbfilename
