Hmm, why do you need to connect to a database? Some time ago I came up with this: _postgres() { local cur; COMPREPLY=() cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]} prev=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD-1]} if [ "$prev" == "-c" ]; then COMPREPLY=($(compgen -S= -onospace -W '`command postgres --describe-config | cut -d" " -f1`' -- $cur)); return 0 fi COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W '-A -B -c -d -D -e -E -F -N -o -P -s -S -f -i -O -t -W --describe-config --help --version' -- $cur)) return 0 } complete -F _postgres postgres postmaster What else do you need?
