Not linux, but I have a windows example. Being an El Cheapo, what I do from a windows box is fire up MS Access, link into the database (and this works even if the database is on a *nix box somewhere), then drag the text of the query into the graphical query builder tool. It's taken some pretty complex stuff apart for me in the past. It's been a while since I last deep-dove in a complex database, so I don't have any other examples handy. Sorry. Maybe somebody else can pick up the thread. I remember reviewing a bunch of them several years ago -- these tools have been around for a long time.
