SQL prompting in ACS

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The new SQL tool in ACS make so much more sense than the old STRSQL - however, the prompt feature from the STRSQL where schemas, tables, columns can be selected from drop-down to construct SQL statements is really missing in the new ACS.


Use Case:

The process of constructing a straight forward "Select" statement would be:
1) Enter: Select (and press F4) and if a schema is set, all tables and views are listet in a drop down,
2) When the table/ view is selected and you press F4 again al available columns ar shown.
3) This is context dependent so it also works for where, having join etc.

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority requirement that is important to be addressed.

    This is typical behavior in other SQL editors.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    IBM has received this requirement and is evaluating it. A response will be provided when evaluation is complete.

    Not so concerned about the tables, but prompting for fields would be awesome
