ENH: More graphical SQL interface

Question

Sorry if some are repeats...
1. Would be nice if column names on table description panes were draggable to the SQL worksheet pane like the code snippets are.
2. Would be nice if floating windows with table columns showed joins between multiple tables in forming SQL statements. And if the resulting data grid were editable.
3. Would be nice if column headings in any data or output grid were clickable for on the spot sorting on that column. I know some grids provide the sort utility for multi column sorting. But for one column quick sorting, the header really ought to be clickable. TopSessions, OEM, SQL Analyze all provide that basic functionality already. It's not a new concept.
I have users that used to use the Oracle Browser product and lost a lot of drag and drop visual interface when Query Builder came around. Some have been using TOAD as a replacement as it supports a visual interface with more than one table. OEM only supports editing one table's data at a time. As far as I can tell, Raptor only supports editing one table's data at a time as well.

Answer 1

#2 relates to an older Oracle product named Query Builder, out of the Developer/2000 package (which replaced Browser) that allows you to pick the tables you want in your query off a pick list. Once you choose your tables, the list of columns appear, each on a floating window. You can drag a column name from one table to the other to create a join between the two (rowid's, SSN's, state name, etc) and a line shows up connecting them so you know. It's sort of like MS Access in that respect. There is no typing SQL, though you can see it if you want to.
To me, that is visual/graphical SQL and is already more advanced in the user interface than this new Raptor product in some respects. Maybe you can find a version and play with it to get the idea. Or I can send screen shots. Problem is that QueryBuilder requires Oracle 7 client and sometimes it doesn't work well with the later versions of Windows OS. It's sad that we can't have that visual interface from a true Oracle product anymore.
#3 If it invalidates the query, then you could just rerun the query. Many times, we want to pull all data from a given table and look for various parts of information in various columns. If we have to go back and actually type in column names in the sort part of the query, that could be done, but it seems like it would be so much faster to just click and resort. The functionality is available in so many other packages it seems very odd to leave it out of this one. It's regression. The fact that you have to type much at all in the SQL worksheet is strange in this point and click world we live in. I can see special cases where you have to tweek your query by hand, but the basics ought to be automatic based on clicks.
For instance, once you click any table for query, it ought to register "select * from table;" as the query. Once you click any column, it ought to register "select column from table". Then if you had ascending/descending icons, you'd get the "order by" clause added. It shouldn't require much typing at all.
Check out your old QueryBuilder product. It was a fine product that hasn't been brought forward. I think it deserves some recognition. Excellent functionality that you might be able to pull into the Raptor product.
