Hi guys,
The use-case I was thinking of was SQL builder tools that allow you to
choose table names from the SQLTables list - even if you don't want to
perform a SELECT, you may still want to be able to include the table in
your query for an INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE.
Where does that leave the status of the patch? Is there any way at all
of getting the feature included with a GUI tickbox to select/deselect
it, or would the patch be rejected regardless?
Kind regards,
Mark.
