SQL code completion - better suggestions

The SQL code completion in idz 17.0.2 using ctrl+space always displays all db2 objects such as schemas, tables and columns.
I can define a schema filter via the preference.
With many tables it is still difficult to recognize which objects I want to select and whether they match the tables.

Ideas: 
a) As soon as at least one table has been defined in the sql statement, the code completion should only display the columns of this/these table(s). Schemas and table names should always be suggested as before. This feature can also be enabled as an additional option in the preferences.

b) When suggesting column names, the table names should also be displayed.
    If several table names are found, the first table found is displayed with a note “and others”.

Best regards,
Thomas
