On my end, that doesn't seem to be the case (running a build of CVS
that is few days old):

nconway=> create table organizations (a int);
CREATE TABLE
nconway=> create view org_details as select * from organizations;
CREATE VIEW
nconway=> select * from org<TAB>
org_details    organizations

(where <TAB> represents hitting the tab key a couple times)

The query issued by psql is:

SELECT relname FROM pg_class WHERE (relkind='r' or relkind='v') and substr(relname,1,3)='org'

... which suggests to me that, at least for the common case, views are
supported for line completion.

Can you give us a reproducible test-case that demonstrates the problem?

Cheers,

Neil
