Amazon pitched something like this at reinvent. I'm bearish because the art to good analytics is deeply understanding the data. The SQL queries are the easy part. It's knowing when to omit inactive states, or how accrual works in the system, or that field X was depreciated and isn't accurate anymore. These systems solve none of those underlying questions, and in fact are more likely to make it worse. Because if you won't even bother to write SQL or look at your database, you are even less likely to make sure it's high quality. (There is maybe an exemption here for queries that you don't really care of you get the real answer. I don't know what those questions would be, but that would be a good usecase.)
