I can't help you with a way to do this, but the source code for the 
tab completion is at this path:

src/bin/psql/tab-complete.c
Great! I'll be looking at it.  Thanks for the pointer.

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
 joining column's datatypes do not match

Hello,
I appreciate very much the readline functionality on the psql client.
However, I'd like to ask if it is possible for the readline 
functionality to gobble up even table names and field names:

For example, if have tables
`table1' with 3 fields `field1', 'field2', and `field3'
and
`table2' with 3 fields `field1', 'field2', and `field3',
Is it possible to do
select # then, after tabbing I  select `table1'
then
select table1. #  then, after tabbing I select field2
Thus, I would have the complete statment
`select table1.field2 from table1'
Well, the above statement  is equivalent to
`select field1 from table1'
Sorry, the above sql shoud read `select field2 from table1'
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Carlo
