RELATED IDEAS

ACS - Provide for parameter definition to be user definable in Generate SQL --> DDL.

I use the schema definitions on a daily basis. As part of modernization of the native database definitions to SQL, I need to retrieve the DDL code from existing objects such as physical files, Logical files, tables, views etc.

The process in ACS requires too many steps/clicks to get the source retrieved.

The aim is to be able to select the object whose DDL is to be retrieved and click GENERATE.

 Request:

Provide a preferences option for all definition screens in the schemas tool to allow the developer to default values always used. Example: the OR REPLACE clause.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM not implement this request.

    Right click and Generate SQL is considered to be relatively efficient.

    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.

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac
