Greetings... I just wanted to make a suggestion to the Build Query process in TOAD Data Point. I work with a zillion different Tables where I am joining Tables, using the Build Query functionality, but many times the Keys I am joining, may not be exactly the same in the various tables. For instance, in one Table it might have padded spaces, or in another it might have mixed case, where in another table it is all caps (even though it is the same key data). While I can certainly fix that situation by my altering the SQL for TRIM and UPPER commands, I thought it would be a really cool feature that, once I draw the join in Query Builder, that I could Right Click on the join and have a quick option to say "Make the Join UPPER for both joined fields", or "TRIM both Fields when joining", or better yet Do Both! (Perhaps in the Join Properties dialogue box?) Having this feature would make it quick and easy to ensure one is getting all the data back that they are expecting. Thank you for your consideration of this request! -Richard-
