SQLCreator SQL statement editor (2018.1) - Copy/paste issue

When copy/pasting SQL code into the SQLCreator SQL statement editor (2018.1) specific characters are replaced by others, e.g. '}' becomes '%7D'. This doesn't happen using the 2017.0 version.

How can I make it work in the 2018.1 version?

Update: This issue is resolved and with FME 2020.0 and newer you can copy and past SQL statements.

 

There's a fix included in the latest FME 2020 beta (b20182). Though it has yet to go through QA, I tested it out and managed to successfully copy and paste SQL containing { } || from Oracle SQL Developer to the SQLCreator.

Please let us know if you have any luck with this.

Unfortunately this is a known issue when copy/pasting from certain SQL editors, e.g. SQLDeveloper and DbVisualizer to the FME 2018 editor widget.

You may want to contact Safe support and refer to ticket C138937.

use notepad.

Copy to notepad from SQL editor and then copy from notepad to SQL_Creator/Executor.

@david_r Thanks for the answer. I contacted support but there is no further insight re the solution of the issue.

@gio So far I have been using that workaround, but nevertheless thanks for your answer. I just thought to raise the issue as it is an annoying step that shouldn't be necessary with this kind of software.

WE have reported this issue a while ago.

But yes, very annoying. But we are patient as we love FME !

FME 2019.2 still has the same problems unfortunately. FME developers: Is there a solution coming soon? (it worked fine in V 2017).
