Quite interesting, but alas I found two bugs:

1. select  from fbb_categories , fbb_posts
   I put my cursor between select and from, and ask for autocomplete,
   and I get

,.catname
,.disp_position
,.id

They all are part of fbb_categories. Unfortunately, that doesn't explain
the comma

* select  from fbb_categories, fbb_posts
  I put my cursor between select and from, and ask for autocomplete,
   and I get nothing (but it works with only one table).

* select * from fbb_topics c left join fbb_posts p on p.
  I put my cursor right after "p.". I was expecting to get the columns
  of fbb_posts, but got nothing.

* select * from fbb_topics c left join fbb_posts p on p
  I put my cursor right after "p". I was expecting to get the columns
  of fbb_posts, but got columns from p (as long as they contain a p
  themselves, and columns from c when they contain a p in their name.
  I was only expecting columns of fbb_posts.

Can you get a look at those? Thanks.
