Converting Alteryx workflow to SQL query by click of a button

It would be great to have the below functionality in Alteryx.

A workflow is built in Alteryx and button click in Alteryx can be used to generate SQL code that can be ran on a specific database platform, such as SQL Server to run external editors such as SQL Server Management Studio. Thanks.

This is a good idea, I would love to see the capacity, but I would doubt it is possible to implement if the workflow is not working in-DB.

 

Currently, if you run an in-DB work follow, and connect to the eg. SQL server database, at any point, you can use the

Dynamic Output In-DB Tool 

https://help.alteryx.com/2018.2/LockInDynamicOutput.htm?TocPath=Tools|Tool%20Categories|In-Database|... 

 

to get the Query created at this point in the workflow.

 

 

For both in-DB and normal workflow, if the query is easy enough to be implemented at the beginning of the flow in the visual query builder, you can get the SQL from SQL editor.
