Hi Justin,

I don't believe it's meaningful to match on words with spaces in them,
for instance, in

else if (Matches3("VACUUM", "FULL|FREEZE|FULL FREEZE", "ANALYZE")) {

as there will never be a word called "FULL FREEZE" (the tab completion
logic splits using spaces, though it will keep things in quotes and
parentheses together).

I don't know what the best approach is for cases like VACUUM, where
there are multiple optional words. Maybe something like the
following? It's pretty ugly, but then, it is part of the tab
completion logic; a good sense of compromise is needed there.

else if (Matches1("VACUUM"))
COMPLETE_WITH_SCHEMA_QUERY(Query_for_list_of_tpmf,
" UNION SELECT 'FULL'"
" UNION SELECT 'FREEZE'"
" UNION SELECT 'VERBOSE'"
" UNION SELECT 'ANALYZE'"
" UNION SELECT '('");
else if (HeadMatches1("VACUUM") && TailMatches1("FULL"))
COMPLETE_WITH_SCHEMA_QUERY(Query_for_list_of_tpmf,
" UNION SELECT 'FREEZE'"
" UNION SELECT 'VERBOSE'"
" UNION SELECT 'ANALYZE'");
else if (HeadMatches1("VACUUM") && TailMatches1("FREEZE"))
COMPLETE_WITH_SCHEMA_QUERY(Query_for_list_of_tpmf,
" UNION SELECT 'VERBOSE'"
" UNION SELECT 'ANALYZE'");
else if (HeadMatches1("VACUUM") && TailMatches1("VERBOSE"))
COMPLETE_WITH_SCHEMA_QUERY(Query_for_list_of_tpmf,
" UNION SELECT 'ANALYZE'");

(Not a patch file, so that you don't have to merge it with the rest of
your patch. ;-) )

Cheers,
