I find I still use STRSQL because I never remember the field names and I
can't prompt in ACS.

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

I agree that Run SQL Scripts (from ACS)does not have the field
prompting which is nice. However, even for "quick and dirties" I will
rather use 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.
