Re: New RDi. Lost my favorite feature. -- WDSCI-L

IBM said "merely updating" was not an option. This is a new version intended for a clean install.

Not having that problem here. There are some settings for this feature that may have been lost if you did a clean install. I merely updated and didn't lose anything: right-click on the output and "Save results" is open for business.

Well yes - I use the iACS run sql script feature.

Essentially because it’s quite good, has a big library of snippets and
can also run CL commands.

With 1.1.9.2 it even can prompt for “host variables” in the statement
like

where table.col = :myVar

OK - this is old for DBeaver, but new to iACS.

For me, RDi was my SQL tool of choice. I had several large "scratch

pads" of SQL code that I regularly referred to and executed directly
from RDi. One could set the file association for .sql files to be one
of three built-in SQL tools. These all seem to be gone.

I am guessing that this was not the SQL tool of choice for many, or
else

they would not have removed the feature. What should I be using instead...
