= Netbeans SQL Editor with functions autocompletion and documentation =

== Netbeans SQL Editor ==

[http://netbeans.org/ Netbeans IDE] provides a powerful database explorer and SQL editor.
The SQL editor offers features such as:
 * Syntax coloring 
 * Contextual code completion for databases, schemas, tables, columns
 * Execution of SQL code at cursor
 * Execution of SQL scripts
 * etc.

Unfortunately, the editor do not autocomplete functions/procedures, a feature that would be cool for PostGIS functions.

The !SqlFunctionsCompletion NBM plugin adds this functionality to the SQL editor.
