Subject: Add psql tab completion for FOR PORTION OF clause
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7b22f15a015ff57507cd9c8cfa0b9741b33cc0bd;p=thirdparty%2Fpostgresql.git

Add psql tab completion for FOR PORTION OF clause

Add tab completion support in psql for the FOR PORTION OF clause
used in UPDATE and DELETE statements with temporal tables.

For both UPDATE and DELETE, completion now guides users through:
  <table> FOR -> PORTION -> OF -> <column> -> FROM
