"there is no "user-level" product in the world that can deal with that."
Including RPG and SQL. You should see some of the garbage being developed by

'No programming involved' isn't the same thing as 'no programmer

Exactly this.
I always have this reaction when someone says "oh, but you're
forgetting about this product!" or "ah, but you haven't tried this
product!".
I thought Buck actually explained it pretty well already in his
earlier post. The design of the database tables themselves is very
often the limiting factor. It may not matter how skilled a power user
is when it comes to building queries; if the database is just not laid
out in an accessible way, there is no "user-level" product in the
world that can deal with that.
