Create an exit point similar to QIBM_QZDA_SQL2 but for all other SQL interfaces

There is no exit point for SQL when run outside the scope of ACS RUN SQL SCRIPTS or "Access i ODBC" as it is referred to in the docs. We need the ability to monitor and do other things for all SQL statements run on the system. We have users coming in from HTTP, from remote IBM i partitions using 3-level naming, and of course regular SQL embedded in RPG and run from SQL CLI. There is no current Exit point that we can find that would allow us to capture the action of running an SQL statement and log it, return an access/reject flag, etc. like we can do today with QIBM_QZDA_SQL2 for ACS.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority Idea that should be addressed.

    There is real value for the user community.

    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 IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

    IBM will use this Idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. This Idea will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.
