| 3 | == Netbeans SQL Editor == |
| 4 | |
| 5 | [http://netbeans.org/ Netbeans IDE] provides a powerful database explorer and SQL editor. |
| 6 | The SQL editor offers features such as: |
| 7 | * Syntax coloring |
| 8 | * Contextual code completion for databases, schemas, tables, columns |
| 9 | * Execution of SQL code at cursor |
| 10 | * Execution of SQL scripts |
| 11 | * etc. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Unfortunately, the editor do not autocomplete functions/procedures, a feature that would be cool for PostGIS functions. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The !SqlFunctionsCompletion NBM plugin adds this functionality to the SQL editor. |
