If you need that feature, you can get it from this plugin: https://github.com/alienhard/SublimeAllAutocomplete
There are probably others, but that's the one I use.

4 sourcesSublime Text doesn't do this by default although there's an extension[1] to do that.

In Visual Studio Code 1.4All I really want from a database IDE is awesome autocomplete for identifiers and keywords. (I consider SQL Server Management Studio's autocomplete to be great - if I could get that for Postgres, I'd be thrilled)
You can get part of the way there by Sublime Text to run queries and browse results. In Sublime, it's easy - you can create a custom "build tool" with (essentially) just one line of config... you're basically just piping the current file's contents to command-line PSQL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPd4m3PLVqU
Then I use the SublimeAllAutocomplete package. It works just like "regular" Sublime autocomplete except it gives you autocomplete suggestions from all open files, not just the current one - so if you have your DB schema dump in another window it will use that: https://github.com/alienhard/SublimeAllAutocomplete

, that doesn't really give you the smartest autocomplete ever but it's pretty productive for me. Tons of room for improvement though.
Amazing editor. Switching been OSX and Windows frequently, ST2 became my choice of a universal tool. Especially useful when augmented by plugins for better autocomplete: I use SublimeClang for C++/ObjC coding, and https://github.com/alienhard/SublimeAllAutocomplete for js/html/css to enable ST's autocomplete across all opened files, not just current one. Only wish it would support virtual space, multiple cursors/vertical blocks seem awkward without it.
