It would be helpful if we could use the SQL Expression Builder in the Create Database View geoprocessing tool.

The weird thing is that the implementation of various [SQL Expression] features we want is all over the place. We have them in some workflows but not others.

...Creating a view? Good luck.  You gotta know your datasets very well before you can successfully write the query.

Hard agree, whoever originally said that is a genius (hahahaha).

Having some sort of expression builder, as well as a validator, would be awesome.

The current method of "write your query and then see if fails halfway through" is... suboptimal.
