5 Not at the moment. Before we can offer such a feature we will need an
6 answer to this question:
7
8 How much freedom in query building do users get?
9 We cannot allow them to execute their own SQL but if it get's too
10 limited the whole point of custom queries becomes useless.

12 That and probably more.

17 Before providing SQL dumps there will also be question to be answered,
18 especially privacy related questions.

22 to be done or if that's enough already.
