Run SQL Scripts 'water mark' support

The Run SQL Scripts function is very useful, but it can also be dangerous if the user is not fully aware of which system (database) is being modified.
An enhancement to allow 'water mark' like tailoring based on the system can help eliminate accidental data-modification on the wrong system.


Use Case:

A user wants to import a sample of data from a production system into a development system. They open two Run SQL Script windows, one to the production system, and one to the development system. It should be clear which is which, in order to avoid data modification on the production system. A 'water mark' like feature would help clarify the situation, and prevent production data loss.

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” low priority feature.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC 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.

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac
