ACS - Add generate SQL for Columns selected in View

In ACS, a recent enhancement allowed user to modify the Columns being viewed for a result set. The View Columns panel enables you to select/omit columns and reorder them. Please add the ability to return/generate a window of SQL code that reflects the selected columns and sequence. Then you could copy paste resulting SQL into an SQL script.


Use Case:

You are developing SQL and decide to limit columns or reorder in result, but then can't get that back in any way. Could right-click and say save to script or press generate DSQL button as appropriate to save considerable time.

Select the columns (represented as rows) that you want. Then right-click and select Copy-->Column Name. The selected columns can now be pasted into an SQL script.
