Re: What do you use "IBM Data Studio" for?

I have a mental block with some of the weird syntax rules in SQL - so for me the biggest benefit I have found is the ability to take an existing SQL statement that I am having trouble understanding and paste it into the Wizard - then use the wizard to explore what is going on and make changes.

Of course iNav is (slowly) going away and while ACS is in improvement in many ways the wizards in those products are a one-way street.

I also like the fact that test results in Data Studio can be easily reviewed and compared.

My main regret about Data Studio is that IBM spent money on building ACS rather than making DS more IBM i friendly.

I hear people talk about IBM Data Studio, so I finally installed it. I've played with it for a while, and I confess that I don't get it. It seems to be more trouble than it's worth, so I'm wondering why other people use it. Why use Data Studio instead of something else like iNav?

Thanks
