[Phpmyadmin-devel] Auto Complete for sql window

[Thomas Bley]

Hello,

most database tools offer auto-completion for writing SQL queries (e.g. 
pgAdmin3, pl/sql developer).
I think it would be great to have this feature in phpMyAdmin.
I've written a small demo to offer sql auto completion for a normal 
textarea (tested with MySQL5 and Firefox2).
In this first draft, auto-complete is done for databases, tables and 
columns. The user types some sql in the textarea and the selectbox on 
the right side gets filled automatically. When typing in the textarea, 
some keys are bound to the selectbox (cursor up, cursor down, escape and 
enter), so the user can directly insert values from the selectbox to the 
textarea.

What do you think about it? Would you like to add it to one of the next 
releases?

Best regards,
Thomas Bley
