Intellisense with field names

When entering the following statement:       select * from blabla where

at this point the Intellisense with fields pops up and I can select a field.

Then I complete the statement with: = 'value'

But at this point I don't know whether the field is a string or a char, so should I type
'value' or value.

I think it would be nice if the popup with field also shows what type the field is so that I can
see waht kind of value I have to type to complete the statement.

Regards.

That's sounds reasonable. Maybe even to go a bit further
and put '' automatically if "=" pressed and field is string.

Re: Intellisense with field names

That sounds good, but come to think of it. Can there be a popup that shows <=, =, >=, <>, !=, LIKE etc. etc. so that you can select a   valid validation method and after selecting/typing one put the '' automatically if it is a string?

btw what is autocompletion and what is intellisense? I'm a bit confused.

Re: Intellisense with field names

It seems to me that this isn't addressed yet and to the last suggestion is no answer given.

I'm just curious if this is going to be implemented?
