The Joy of Intellisense: Tab Expansion
summary
Shows concrete fixes: add tabExpansion++ argument completers in modules, declare output types so Intellisense fills property names, and build a Get-SQL helper that talks ODBC and uses /n software net commandlets to tab-complete servers tables and fields. 26 parameters get organized into parameter sets so completion is context aware. Result is real: interactive SQL queries drop from ~90 seconds to 30 seconds per query, with up to 150 queries a day, saving hours.
