Whenever I create a "*SQL*" buffer, it is displayed in a new frame as it should be. The only problem is that if something is happening in the mini-buffer that creates a (temporary) window, like completion, the buffer *Completions* is displayed in a different frame. For instance, if I do find-file and press tab to get the file completions list, it is displayed in another (existing) frame instead of splitting the window temporary as it is done for other windows. I tried to set special-display-buffer-names to (("*SQL*" (width . 139) (unsplittable . nil)))) but it had no effect. It should not act different for *Completions* in the special-displayed buffer from *Completions* of a function issued in a normal buffer. How can I do that?
