DB2 – ISeries – Display Field Properties in Query Builder

by Nov 4, 2016

I am using Aqua Data Studios version 18.0.2. I have a DB2 – ISeries connection. Is there a way to display the Field Properties and attributes for the tables? I’ve included a picture showing what table WOMHIPF looks like in the query builder and an example of another program that I am using that show these properties. For example, the first field is called WONROV but there is no explanation what that means.

Hi,

This is not currently supported. I’ve logged an enhancement request for this to be considered for a future release:

Try this sql:

select lower( table_name ) as “table”,
ordinal_position as “pos”, lower( column_name ) as “column_name”,
lower( data_type ) as “data_type”, length as “length”,
numeric_scale as “numeric_scale”, column_text as “text”
from qsys2.syscolumns
where lower( table_schema ) = ‘testdata’
and lower( table_name ) in( ‘table1’, ‘table2’ )
— and lower( column_name ) like ‘%item%’
order by table_name, ordinal_position/
