it woud be great if you can implement a smart completion for views and columns in the editor, similar to how it it shown here: https://github.com/dbcli/pgcli

'dod' for example will find everything that '*d*o*d*' is matching

  Hi Andreas,

  Thank you for your post. Just for you to understand more on how our code completion works, we have 3 level hierarchy that our code completion follows, Schemas.Views/procs/tables.columns. and then also aliases. The way it works now is, when you type
  1a. (control + space here) it will list all the schemas.
  1b. schema_name (control + space here) it will list all the schemas starting with schema_name.
  2a. schema_name. (control + space here) it should list all the views/procs/tables under it.
  2b. schema_name.a (control + space here) , it will list all the views/procs starting with a
  3a. schema_name.View_name. (control + space here) it will list all the columns under View_name
  3b. schema_name.View_name. (control + space here) it will list all the columns under View_name starting with a

  So, if we have to come up with "'dod' for example will find everything that '*d*o*d*' is matching", what we need to understand here is if you want this search to happen only at that corresponding level or it should also consider d.oooddd also?

  Hi Sachin,

  it would be sufficient if the smart completion works within a hierarchy level, not between them.
