sql describe for embedded SELECT (embedded in CREATE or INSERT)

I work into a security software, and I have to identify when sensitive data are read
RCAC is not always the solution.
For example : when sensitive data are worked from a well known program, it is ok,
But when the same data are worked from STRSQL or ACS sql script, it is not.
And we have customers still in V7.1 (RCAC appears in V7.2)


note:
I know some IBM customers uses sql describe and detect it is not a select because describe returns nothing.
I propose an extention of the syntax :
DESCRIBE ... "INCLUDING EMBEDDED SELECT" with the default value "EXCLUDING EMBEDDED SELECT"


Use Case:

when the statement I work with is, for example,

Create table qtemp/test as ( select * from qiws.qcustcdt)with data
Table TEST created in QTEMP.

It is obvious there is a select in this statement (not only a select, but a there is an embedded select)
And it is also obvious that the data are duplicated.

    IBM does not intend to provide the solution described by this request at this time, so it is being closed.

    We believe there is an existing solution that might work just as well, if not better, than the proposed enhancement in this RFE request.

    The table function QSYS2.PARSE_STATEMENT can be passed an SQL statement. It returns the type of SQL statement and a list of the object names that are found in the statement. This includes not just table names, but column names and function names as well.

    Agree. 7.1 is out of support so any changes would be made to 7.2 and 7.3 only. And, with 7.4 just around the corner, the days of getting major enhancements to 7.2 are going to come to an end. If the current trend continues IBM will support the current release and one level back only. Personally I agree with this as customers tend to be slower to upgrade, but eventually, they need to. You can't keep supporting years and years of OS releases.

    V7R1 is already End-Of-Support since April 30 2018 so even if your proposal would make it... it will never be available at V7R1.

    You can't advocate security and run on an unsupported release !
