[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-189) SQL editor, shouldn't ask evertime to set the connection

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-189?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16686489#comment-16686489 ] 

Christian Lenz commented on NETBEANS-189:
-----------------------------------------

I attached an image, how IntelliJ handles this. So in general you have Code completion for normal/advanced keywords in SQL files, w/o the need of a connection. But there is a notification which shows you, that you should better configure a data source/connection to get advanced code assistance, which is quite good. So I can use IntelliJ for SQL files with Code completion and writing my SQL w/o using a connection, This is not possible with NetBeans.

> Of course, the SQL editor doesn't make sense, if you don't set a connection to see databases, tables and columns, but sometimes or often, you only want to scratch a SQL query and you want the code completion for the SQL stuff, like the keywords (SELECT, FROM, WHERE) or aggregate functions (COUNT, AVG, etc.) So this is not possible, without setting a connection. But when I don't have a connection, I can't use the code completion, becauses it will ends up in a loop. See my little screen capture for what I mean.
