Query manager for the iSeries with autocomplete support - sql

Is there a query manager tool like SQL Server Management Studio for the iSeries that supports autocomplete?

I highly recommend DbVisualizer with the IBM Toolbox/JTOpen database driver. The SQL editor supports auto-completion and more.

I have used Aqua Data Studio successfully in the past for queering iSeries and it does support autocomplete.

I have oracle database named CRMS and using SQL developer to run queries.
I need to make reports using CRMS oracle as my datasourse.

Visual studio 14.0
MS .NET version 4.7
SQL developer 4.1.5
Using Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle
not sure how to connect to Oracle database. please guide me
You would probably need Oracle Client Components installed on your local machine (where you have SSRS installed) inorder to use the Connection Provider for an Oracle Database.

How to create SAP BW as a data source for cognos?

I am new to IBM Cognos and I am using Cognos 10 trail version.
I did some of reports using DB2 as a data source. Now I trying to use SAP as a data source and I surfed the web and have seen the IBM cognos guide and in that I went through the steps to connect with SAP BW and when I am doing same using my framework manager I got stuck at 8 step, please have a look into the following link
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSVRFT_1.1.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.dyn_query.10.2.1.doc/t_dqm_crt_proj_sap_bw.html
I only have the following drivers while I am trying to create Data source in it,
Drivers in Cognos:
IBM DB2, IBM Informix Dynamic server, Microsoft SQL server(ODBC), Microsoft SQL server(OLE BC),Microsoft SQL server( 2005 Native client), Microsoft SQL server(2008 Native Client), Microsoft SQL server(2012 Native Client), Microsoft analysis services 2008(ODBO), Microsoft analysis services 2012(ODBO), Netezza, ODBC, JDBC, Oracle, Progress OpenEdge(ODBC), IBM Red Brick(ODBC), Sysbase Adaptive Server Enterprise(CT-Lib), Sysbase Adaptive Server Enterprise(CT-15),
Teradata, IBM Cognos TM1)
In the 8 step of the above link they tell simply that use type SAP BW as a driver but in my framework manager I did not have the same driver as they said that in the above documentation link. I stuck there, I did not find any solution please tell me solution if any one knows.
Thank you in advance.
Why not just add the data source to your Cognos BI Server via. Cognos Administration?
It will then appear in FM as an available data source.

Cant edit schema or data from sql server management studio

I have connected to my SQL azure server using SQL Server 2012 Management Studio and I cannot edit any of my table's schema or the data in it. When I right click on the table the options are missing. Am I doing something wrong?
Not that I am using SSMS 2012, but in 2008 R2 is generally the same. There is no GUI for neither table designer, nor "Edit top 200 records". You have to begin diving into the DDL and DML for SQL Server and give up GUIs. One way you could use GUI to some extend, especially for DDL is to use the portal provided Windows Azure SQL Database manager. You can find a link to it when you go to your database from either the new or the old portal (Manage). Other way is to use some third party tool, which I am not aware of.
Here is the link to that manager from the new portal:
Another option some people may find helpful, if you have and use Visual Studio then you can link to the server in ServerManager, connect to the database, and then design and edit data directly.
My 2008 R2 version of SSMS had the same problem. I downloaded 2016 CTP3 SSMS which has Azure support and everything is normal for the Azure Databases.

I did lose my connection history information so beware.

Delphi XE and SQL Server 2008 express connection

How can I connect Delphi and SQL Server 2008?
I found on the internet a tutorial teaching how to use SQLConnection.
The problem is that Delphi doesn't give me an option to select MSSQL, only Interbase/Firebird and MySql.
Is there any driver missing?
I know we can use a component like Devart but I just want to use what Delphi XE offers.
If you have Delphi XE Architect or Enterprise, you should be able to connect with TSQLConnection. Since you don't see that, I'm guessing you have the Professional SKU.
You can use ADO via TADOConnection, TADOCommand and TADOQuery to work with SQL Server in XE Pro. You'll find them on the dbGo tab in the component palette.

free sql code editor?

i am breaking my eyes trying to write sql code in ms access. is there a free editor out there?
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Management Studio Express

DatabaseSpy SQL Editor

SQuirrel SQL Client
http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=screenshots
SQL Server Management Studio Express
You should be able to use it as a SQL editor without SQL Server.
I normally use SQuirrel SQL Client to connect to just about any database I need to work with. You can use it with any database you can find a JDBC driver for.
I haven't tried it yet, but I believe they improved the editor in Access 2010 . Here's a post from the Access Blog that discuss IntelliSense.
I didn't see Notepad++ mentioned and of course you get the syntax highlighting but not any intellisense.
I wrote Access SQL Editor, an Add-In for Microsoft Access, because I had the same problem. There is a free 14-day trial here. Purchasing a license is very cheap, but if you can't afford it, you can contact me.
Once it's installed, you can access it through your Add-Ins menu (In Access 2010 it's Database Tools->Add Ins).
