Change In-DB to Input Data or Input Data to In-DB

I would like to suggest the functionality of converting an In-DB tool to Input Data automatically as it is done with Input Data so that it becomes an automatic Macro input.

 

The reverse would also be interesting, converting the Input Data, when it is connected to the database, to In-DB.

hey @carlosteixeira 

 

I really do understand the desire to be able to switch between in-DB and regular old input tools - would it perhaps be better to eliminate the distinction between inDB and regular and instead just treat this as an execution option (i.e. execute via DB Pushdown vs return data to desktop)?

Hey @SeanAdams 


Yes, that's a good idea too, that makes a lot of sense. That's a good way.
