[PATCH] ALTER tab completion

Hi hackers,

I noticed that there are some tab completions missing for the following
commands:
-ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES: missing FOR USER
-ALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER: missing NO HANDLER, NO VALIDATOR
-ALTER SEQUENCE: missing AS
-ALTER VIEW: no completion after ALTER COLUMN column_name
-ALTER TRANSFORM: no doc for ALTER TRANSFORM, so I excluded TRANSFORM
from ALTER tab completion

I made a patch for this, so please have a look.

Best wishes,

FOR ROLE is an equivalent. That does not seem mandatory to me.

Okay for this one.

+ /* ALTER VIEW xxx ALTER yyy */
+ else if (Matches("ALTER", "VIEW", MatchAny, "ALTER", MatchAny))
+ COMPLETE_WITH("SET DEFAULT", "DROP DEFAULT");
It may be cleaner to group this one with "ALTER VIEW xxx ALTER yyy"
two blocks above.

Right.

> -ALTER SEQUENCE: missing AS
+ /* ALTER SEQUENCE <name> AS */
+ else if (TailMatches("ALTER", "SEQUENCE", MatchAny, "AS"))
+ COMPLETE_WITH("smallint", "integer", "bigint");
Re-quoting Horiguchi-san, that should be COMPLETE_WITH_CS() to keep
these completions in lower case.

Hi,

Thank you for the comments!

I made following updates:

I deleted the completion for "FOR USER".

I put them back to back so that it looks cleaner.

That's what it's for.
I used COMPLETE_WITH_CS instead of COMPLETE_WITH.

I have made one small modification for ALTER VIEW, and applied what
you have. Thanks, Kato-san.
