Description

Of course, the SQL editor doesn't make sense, if you don't set a connection to see databases, tables and columns, but sometimes or often, you only want to scratch a SQL query and you want the code completion for the SQL stuff, like the keywords (SELECT, FROM, WHERE) or aggregate functions (COUNT, AVG, etc.) So this is not possible, without setting a connection. But when I don't have a connection, I can't use the code completion, becauses it will ends up in a loop. See my little screen capture for what I mean.
