Enhance Data Tools code to handle naming convention system.

Using Rational Developer for Powevr 8.0.3, make a Connection to DB2 for iOS V5R3

using the naming system convention, like in this example:

jdbc:hostname;prompt=false;naming=system;

The connection works.

When expanding the packages in the Enteprise explorer though, no packages are shown and the
following exception is shown:

java.sql.SQLException: [SQL5016] QUALIFIED OBJECT NAME SYSTABLES NOT VALID.

Use Case:

Users who already SQL scripts based on the system naming convention do not want to re-write these scripts.

    This RFE has been re-evaluated.  Due to the relatively low number of votes, this RFE is now being declined.
    You can try to use Run SQL Scripts in ACS.

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
    Brand - Servers and Systems Software
    Product family - Programming Languages
    Product - Developer for Power Systems

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - Rational
    Product family - Design & development
    Product - Developer for Power Systems
