Re: STRSQL

In addition, STRSQL does not support a lot of the new stuff in SQL, anyhow. For prompting, that is - things like WITH ___ AS are not promptable.

I cut my teeth on STRSQL starting 25 years ago (Yikes!). I still use it occasionally, there are options (F13) I'm more used to, but I'm finding them in ACS as well.

Cheers
Vern

I agree that Run SQL Scripts (from ACS)does not have the field prompting

Run SQL Scripts. I've found that the prompting does just get in the way
for all but the most basic queries.
Using prompting is a crutch. Many people will not step out of their
comfort zone on queries which go past prompting.

The ability to "Insert from examples", and to write your own, in ACS is
very nice.
