For query strings for the AVEVA Adapter For RDBMS, provide a larger, resizable text box that preserves new-line characters

Currently, the text box for the query strings (for queries against the data source) for the AVEVA Adapter For RDBMS is the same as any other text box. It spans only a single line and is not resizable, and its width is limited by the width of the right pane, which is also not resizable. Also, this text box does not preserve new-line characters, so a query copied out of this box is all on a single line, even if it did not begin that way. This makes it difficult to inspect or edit a query. Also, if a single-line comment (beginning with "--") was added somewhere in the middle of the query, then this behaviour causes the entire query after the "--" to become part of the comment since it is now on the same line as the single-line comment, and what ends a single-line comment is a new-line character, which cannot currently exist in the query string, at least through the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility.


The workaround is to save the original query elsewhere, edit it if you want to make changes to it, save it, copy it, remove any single-line comments, copy this new query, and then paste it as the query string and to make sure to follow these steps each time the query needs to be modified so that the query string always matches the original query.


For these query strings, please provide a larger, resizable text box that preserves new-line characters. This new text box could be in a modal window.
