Re: "Missing" functionality ?

Rob, yes I am aware of the new naming options - and security has nothing to do with as _I_ am not going to be the one running the scripts.

Sometimes when I publish an article I include the source code and from time to time need to supply some basic test data to encourage people to "play". I used to just supply the DDS. Then I added a CSV. But recently I decided that a better way would be to supply an SQL script that would both create the table and populate it without a bunch of individual steps. It is also easier that way for people to add/modify the data content.

The resulting package is made available for download.

That is what I was trying to build - as I have done in the past when sending out MySQL tables (for example) for PHP examples.

So I take you can't do
create table rob.jonparis as (
select *
from gdisys.erplxf.rco)
with data;

Basically what you are saying is,
even though there is a way to connect from two different systems at the
same time, you are unable to because of external factors such as security
reasons, remoteness of one site or the other, or some other such thing?
Or, did you not know that they've added database.schema.table naming?

Which only works if you can connect to both the source and target systems
at the same time Rob.

That's why I needed to generate the individual INSERTs - so that it can be
packaged as source and installed anywhere.

I really have no idea what you are trying to say here.

Me, I'm thinking something like

insert into mytable (
select * from sourcetable)

or something like that.

Maybe I am just not using the right google search but ...

Every database tool I have used in recent years has included an option

to

generate INSERTs from data in an existing table.

I've looked at ACS, RDi, and everywhere else I could think of - and all

I

can find is the ability to look at data, or export as CSV type files.

The

only SQL generation available seems to be for the table definition.

This seems such an obvious oversight I'm convinced I must have missed
something.

In the end I loaded up DBeaver and it did the job for me - thought I'd
mention that in case anyone else had a similar need and was equally
confused.
