Hi,
psql's tab completion has the following problem:
If we have the following syntax for example:
SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION <user>;
SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION DEFAULT;
After "SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION", the tab completion can offer a list of
roles or the string constant "DEFAULT". However it can't offer both because
it can't get a list of roles and add a string constant to this list.
The appended patch adds the functionality of lists that can be extended with
constants.
Then you get:
template1=# SET session AUTHORIZATION <tab>
DEFAULT fred joe john
I did proof-of-concept examples to add a constant to a
- list from a query
- list from a schema query
- list of table attributes
Joachim
