Ah - I obviously didn't explain it well enough in my original posting.

It's not necessary to construct the queries by building the URLs -
it's an interactive application - you build the queries dynamically.
("hm, let's see, I don't want to see _that_ data, so I'll click on the
'not equal to' link next to it")

The eventual goal is for it to be able to be used in place of something
like Crystal Reports SQL for allowing people to build up queries.

I'll put up an animated gif demonstrating it, soonish.
