fix: column autocomplete not working against SYSTEM_TABLE_NAME#550
Merged
Conversation
When a user references a table by its system (short) name in SQL, e.g. FROM QSYS2.AUTH_COL instead of FROM QSYS2.AUTHORITY_COLLECTION, the column lookup in Table.getItems() failed to return any columns because the WHERE clause only matched TABLE_NAME. Extend the WHERE predicate to also match SYSTEM_TABLE_NAME so both the long SQL name and the short system name resolve to column metadata.

Description
Column autocomplete failed to suggest columns when a table was referenced using its system name (short ≤10-char DDS name) instead of its long SQL name.
For example:
FROM QSYS2.AUTHORITY_COLLECTION— worked (long SQL name)FROM QSYS2.AUTH_COL— returned no columns (system name)Root Cause
Table.getItems()insrc/database/table.tsqueriesQSYS2.SYSCOLUMNS2with:This only matches the long SQL name. When the user types the short system name, the query returns no rows and autocomplete shows nothing.
Fix
Extended the WHERE predicate to match either name:
The parameter array is updated accordingly to pass the table name twice.
