How many times have you started off building a complicated analytical SQL query like this? SELECT . . . . uh??? . . SELECT * FROM . . . SELECT . . . And you get stuck trying to figure out exactly what you want to select. You’re thinking about averages, group by’s, the order of your results or some change you want to see over time and the query editor is just sitting there, taunting you, because in SQL, you have to know up front what you want to select into your final results.
