Maximo views: Increase SQL FROM clause character limit

When creating a view object in Maximo db config:

The view's FROM clause can only have 1000 characters. BMXAA4049E

1000 characters might seem like a lot, but in fact, many queries have more than 1000 characters in the FROM clause, especially if there are subqueries.

Could IBM please increase the character limit beyond 1000? (i.e. 4000 like the other clauses)

An alternative option would be to not limit the SQL clauses at all. This would be especially helpful for imported views.
