Not at the moment.  Before we can offer such a feature we will need an
answer to this question:

  How much freedom in query building do users get?
  We cannot allow them to execute their own SQL but if it get's too
  limited the whole point of custom queries becomes useless.

That and probably more.

Before providing SQL dumps there will also be question to be answered,
especially privacy related questions.
It starts with the mapping from public UUIDs to machine UUIDs.
If we published that anybody could send in data to update the entry for
your machine.  But that's an easy one.  The questions is what more needs
to be done or if that's enough already.

Glad you like it.
