If you can get a version of this working with table and column autocompletion just using a static JavaScript object in the source code with the right tables and columns, I'm happy to take on the work of turning that static object into something that Datasette includes in the page itself with all of the correct values.

This version "sort of" works when on the main database page where the template passes the relevant data https://github.com/bgrins/datasette/commit/8431c98850c7a552dbcde2a4dd0c3dc942a97d25 by doing this and passing that into the schema object:

``` let TABLES_DATA = []; {% if tables is defined %}
TABLES_DATA = {{ tables | tojson(indent=2) }}; {% endif %}

// Turn into an object, shaped like https://github.com/codemirror/lang-sql/blob/ebf115fffdbe07f91465ccbd82868c587f8182bc/test/test-complete.ts#L27. const TABLES_SCHEMA = Object.fromEntries( new Map( TABLES_DATA.map((table) => { return [table.name, table.columns]; }) ).entries() ); ```

But there are a number of papercuts with it - it's not escaping table names with spaces (likely be fixable from the data being passed into the view) but mainly it doesn't seem to autocomplete columns. I think it might only want to do it when you first type the table name from my read of https://github.com/codemirror/lang-sql/blob/ebf115fffdbe07f91465ccbd82868c587f8182bc/test/test-complete.ts#L37. It's possible I'm just passing something wrong, but it may end up being something that needs feature work upstream.
