  That's a rather short-sighted comment. We use similar functionality to build an end-user reporting system which queries multiple DBs, many of which are part of vendor applications. Trusted users write the SQL, parameterize it with django-templates. Users enter parameters in widgets. SQL is generated using the templates, executed on the target DB with RO credentials, and returned in a grid/csv/excel/json.

        Not at all! Just expressing that we keep showing off reinventions of the wheel.
