ACS RSS - Support Multiple Connections

Within ACS Run SQL Scripts (RSS) support the ability to connect multiple times with different configurations and then run a given SQL against one of those Connections.
The 'Quantum DB' plugin for Eclipse provides this functionality.
This support is one of the main reasons I am NOT using RSS.
This will allow the ability to quickly run SQLs against multiple system.


Use Case:

I will "prove out" an SQL within the Test system.
And when that is done, run it on the Production system. Sometimes this make take a few iterations.
Having to connect/disconnect is not idea.

Some times I am just comparing data and/or settings between systems and/or libraries/tables.

    Thank you for submitting your Request For Enhancement. Multiple connections are currently supported by having a separate RSS window open for each connection. We have also provided a way to customize the border (View->Custom Border Settings) to make it easier to recognize the difference between different connections. After evaluating your submission, the decision at this time is to not provide this support.

    I created an RFE closely related to this ask and I was told to run your SQL script via a script and write multiple lines that connect to each server.

    I doubt IBM has determined this is an ask that will be followed.
