In an SQL expression, when typing something like  b.asset_id :

When typing the letter  b  , then typing a period  .  , the period triggers it to autocomplete the  b  to BETWEEN .

That's not what I wanted. I wanted to type   b.asset_id , not   BETWEEN.

Could that behavior be changed?

Thanks.

Here's an example of a working subquery (has a correlated subquery with a table alias:  b ).

roadinsptable.objectid IN (
     SELECT objectid
       FROM roadinsptable b
      WHERE b.asset_id = roadinsptable.asset_id
   ORDER BY date_ DESC, condition DESC
      LIMIT 1
            )

Video of me trying to write b.asset_id, but it auto-completes  b.  to  BEFORE or  BETWEEN (depending on the scenario), which isn't what I want.
