Merged idea

This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit IBMI-I-1032 IBM i ACS Run SQL Scripts copy/paste column headings.

Allow copy/paste of column header fields in result window Merged

When running a SQL statement in ACS the results are displayed including the column headers. From this result window you can only copy/paste selected data, not column headers.


Use Case:

If you want to select some sql output to copy/paste into an email (for example) it would be very nice if you can copy/paste the column headers too (using CTL-C and CTL-V).

    Right-click on the column headings and click on Details. There you get a list of the columns, and you can copy from there the column names in a comma-separated list. I use this often to get a subset of columns to paste into the column list of a SELECT.

    You can also get the column list with data types, again, comma-separated. That could be used, if creating a table, perhaps. I've not used that feature yet, myself.

    there are times where you only want/need a couple of the rows/columns.
    being able to select the column names will make this process easier/quicker.

    IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.

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

    Right click on results and choose "save results" will copy headers and data to a spreadsheet.

    If you save the results to a XLS you have the headers as well.
