DB Development Perspective allow subset on Edit

IBM Rational Developer for i (RDi) version 9.6.0.1 has a Database Development perspective that allows editing of the contents of a Db2 table (right-click on table->Data->Edit). This brings back an arbitrary subset of the rows in the table. That feature would be much more usable if you were able to get a specific subset of rows back (probably via a SQL query).

MS SQL Server Management Studio and IBM Data Studio (for Db2 other than Db2 for i) already have this functionality.


Use Case:

Data maintenance could be done through RDi. The current feature only works for tables with very few rows, or to add new rows. Other maintenance must be done via other methods, like manual INSERT, DELETE & UPDATE SQL statements.

    Data Studio is no longer accepting RFE's so we are going to mark this as a duplicate of ACS's RFE:

    IBM Data Studio is no longer being actively enhanced. Similar database activities can be achieved by using IBM i Access Client Solutions.
    While ACS's Schema support does not yet have the Edit table contents action, it does support FOR UPDATE from the Run SQL Scripts action to interactively edit the table contents.

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. Although this could be done with product DBU, if one wants to live in RDi, it certainly makes sense to add this.

    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 RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

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