Hi all,

What is the current condition of sql editor in netbeans?
Is there any plan to add autocompletion support for sql editor?

There is some very basic autocomplete support, based on an old ISO SQL spec
(no vendor specific keywords).

However, the autocomplete popup is hard coded in such a way that it will
only popup after a . character (e.g. If you are typing scema.table it would
popup for the table)

You can get the basic autocomplete at other times (for the basic SQL
keywords) by pressing Ctrl-Space.

If you search the mailing list, you'll find previous discussions on this. I
asked if anyone knew why it was hard coded to only auto popup after a . and
didn't get a response, so I guess that knowledge is lost..

I'm not personally aware of anyone working to improve it, but that doesn't
mean there isn't - or that the opportunity isn't available for you to do so
if you have the time / motivation.


Hope that helps,

P
