- else if (Matches1("ALTER"))
+ else if (TailMatches1("ALTER"))
postgres=# \h ALTER
AGGREGATE DOMAIN FUNCTION
MATERIALIZED VIEW RULE SYSTEM TYPE
COLLATION EVENT TRIGGER GROUP OPERATOR
SCHEMA TABLE USER
CONVERSION EXTENSION INDEX POLICY
SEQUENCE TABLESPACE USER MAPPING FOR
DATABASE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER LANGUAGE
PUBLICATION SERVER TEXT SEARCH VIEW
DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOREIGN TABLE LARGE OBJECT ROLE
SUBSCRIPTION TRIGGER
