Matthias Bläsing commented on NETBEANS-188: ------------------------------------------- Actually SQL completion it pretty much in line with the java editor. In the java editor you don't getting random completion when you start typing. Only after hitting a "." you get an automatic popup. I can imagine, that a completion like the one in phpmyadmin could be helpful, but it needs better completion first. I have not looked to deep into options, but one question that comes to mind is, do we need context sensitive completion, or could a completion on the SQL keywords work? If completion based on SQL grammar is implemented, completion without a connection would make more sense. When a connection is open, functions and (some) keywords can be queries from the connection properties. These could flow into completion. > Please add support for code completion while typing > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NETBEANS-188 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-188 > Project: NetBeans > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: db - SQL Editor > Affects Versions: Next > Reporter: Christian Lenz > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Attachments: sqlCodeCompletion.gif > > Time Spent: 10m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > Afaik, the SQL Editor, is the only one, where you don't have code completion, > while typing. It only appears after you hit ctrl + space, which is weird. It > should be there per default. If not, there should be an option that code > completion should always be possible, in any cases and you can deactivate it, > if you don't want it. > For each keyword, table, view whatever, I have to type a character and hit > ctrl + space. It would be very nice to have the same code completion feature > as in java or other languages, that the code completion comes up, while > typing. For example: > Type "S" -> code completion should come immediately and should show you the > results. Same for everything like tables, views, databases, aliases and > columns. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
