The first cleans up a couple of minor errors and ommissions and adds tab completion support to more slash commands, e.g. \dv. The second is an attempt to add tab completion for schemas and fully qualified relation names (e.g. public.mytable ). I think this covers the TODO-item: "Allow psql to do table completion for SELECT * FROM schema_part and table completion for SELECT * FROM schema_name." This happens via union selects querying: - relation_name in current search path; - schema_name; - schema.relation_name matching the current input string. E.g: SELECT p[TAB] will produce a list of all appropriate relation names in the current search path which begin with 'p', and also all schema names which begin with 'p'; \d pub[TAB] will produce any relation names in the current search path and also any schema names beginning with 'pub'; \d public.[TAB] will produce a list of all relations in the schema 'public'; \d public.my[TAB] produces all relation names beginning with 'my' in schema 'public'. It seems to work for me; comments, suggestions, particularly regarding the coding and queries, are very welcome. Note that tables, indexes, views and sequences relations in the 'pg_catalog' namespace are excluded even though they are in the current search path. I found not doing this produced annoying behaviour when expanding names beginning with 'p'. People who work with system tables a lot may not like this though; I can look for another solution if necessary. Ian Barwick |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains several language bindings, including C, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as a JDBC driver. The ODBC and C++ interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
