Hi Marc,
If u can give some information on other products which use visual features for query building, then i can have a look and it will be of great help for me to decide how to make this addition without duplicating visual aspects of other products.
Thanks,

Ok, will check the other things . Regarding the concern for duplicating thing from similar product,yes we can keep this point in mind while designing and make our own unique design.
i had one more idea in this same query generation field, if we can provide a natural language processing tool (NLP) with phpmyadmin,this will be completely new and here people with little or no SQL knowledge can generate queries just by writting their queries in plain english.!! i have seen some similar open source tools ,we can integrate them with phpmyadmin one such tool is developed by mark watson and is open source

i have myself done some basic project in NLP at my college,
but for this summer i will like to concentrate on visual query generation.
thanks

HI, Marc i installed the latest phpmyadmin version and saw the Designer
feature
which uses Ajax, yes something similar i wanted for my diagram ..................but this feature is only for defining relationships,if
we
can use this diagram feature for query generation it will be very interactive and useful for the users,further we can also provide feature
to
automatically generate php classes having functions containing these
query.
users can directly put these classes in their code and just use the functions.!!
Thanks
Well, the Designer is not only for defining relationships, there are other buttons at the top that give other functionnalities. But you're right, a visual query builder would be good.
A challenge will be to try not duplicating the visual aspect of other similar products.
