Autocomplete

Autocomplete

DBeagle provides context-aware SQL autocomplete powered by its parser plus live metadata from the active connection.

Where it works

Autocomplete is available in:

• sql
• trino
• postgres
• mysql
• mssql
• tsql

If you are in a generic sql file, DBeagle uses the active connection to decide which SQL dialect to favor.

How to trigger it

• Automatically while typing in common SQL contexts
• Manually with VS Code’s normal completion shortcut, Ctrl+Space

What DBeagle suggests

Depending on context, DBeagle can suggest:

• Keywords
• Functions
• Catalogs
• Schemas
• Tables and views
• Columns

Context awareness

DBeagle tries to narrow suggestions based on where your cursor is:

• After FROM or JOIN, it favors relations
• After SELECT, WHERE, and ON, it can favor columns
• After ., it can narrow suggestions to children of the qualifier
• In alias-heavy queries, it tracks the relations already present in the statement

Metadata scope

Autocomplete respects the active connection and any selected schema scope. If you use Select Active Schemas, autocomplete narrows with it.

Refreshing metadata

If suggestions look stale, run Refresh Schema from the Connections view.

Completion details

When metadata is available, completion items can include useful details such as the relation name and column type.
