By introducing the concept of quantaloidal completions for an order-enriched category, relationships between the category of quantaloids and the category of order-enriched categories are studied. It is proved that quantaloidal completions for an order-enriched category can be fully characterized as compatible quotients of the power-set completion. As applications, we show that a special type of injective hull of an order-enriched category is the MacNeille completion; the free quantaloid over an order-enriched category is the Down-set completion.
