I'm getting pretty good with CMS building of late, but I read a brief from another company (which the client said they didn't feel they could trust as far as they could throw) which suggested they included some sort of query building function within the system, along with the ability to add columns to tables etc
I was wondering what people thought about a) Giving that much control to essentially non web savvy peeps b) The practicality of people actually being able to come up with working queries.
For instance I did a query (php/MySQL) the other day, which pulled out a list of already associated content, and then a list of remaining content that hadn't already being associated so there was no chance of duplication. I used the first query to constuct a != section of the second query, which would be nigh on impossible I think in that sort of system.
What do peeps think?
