Hi,

I've used Highcharts to create the plot functionality. For now, it plots for
numeric fields only. it is zoomable (both in x and y) and also you can click
the data points to view the row. You can try scenarios like:
In sakila database:
    -> In films table, try film_id ( < 100 ) vs rental_rate and choose
'title' as the label.
    -> In films_actor table, try film_id vs actor_id.
etc..
