Take your point, Matt. All I can suggest is that ACS is very much, "work in progress" with additional functions at each release. Have you considered submitting an RFE?

One small crumb. You _can_ RUN SQL SCRIPT within the ACS Schema Manager.
Right-click the database name in the left pane and you'll find the option in the context menu.

I confess I don't miss the Database Map. Also if I wish to copy/paste anything, I tend to use the RSE view in RDi.

Missed a few items:

1. Where do you now manage omnifind text indexes? In navigator it used
to show under "XML Schema Repository (XSR)", but now it's now where to be found in ACS 2. There should be a link to the SQL performance monitor in the Schema viewer within ACS when you right click your database. Instad you have to jump back out of the Schema viewer, go to the ACS welcome page and open the SQL Performance viewer, choose your database, and then go about your business. Not user friendly.

Here are the things in navigator that are not available in ACS
(although I am one version behind, should probably check if they added
these)

1. Right click a table and hit Journals 2. Right click a table, hit
edit contents 3. Looking for Lock holders and Locked Rows options are
missing 4. There is no copy/paste of tables between librarys in ACS.
You could copy the whole table, or just copy the definition in
Navigator 5. Where did the database map go?

UI annoyances:

1. You use to be able to hit "Run an SQL Script" while viewing tables in Navigator. There is no such short link I can find. Instead you must go back to the Access Client solutions Welcome screen (or completely exit the Schemas viewer), and hit "Run SQL Scripts". There should be a "Run SQL Scripts" from within the schemas manager where you managed 99% of your other database operations.

Matt, out of curiosity - which (Database) features in ACS are missing that forces you to use iNavigator?

Agreed. I have to use DBeaver as IBM only provides the notepad of SQL editors. I still have to drop back to the no-longer-supported IBM I Navigator to do some tasks as ACS still hasn't got all the features Navigator had. So basically now I tab through DBeaver, IBM I Navigator, and ACS to get tasks complete. Very poor user experience.
