Redmine

Hi everyone,

Redmine's query interface is great, but sometimes there are queries that aren't possible using just the query builder. It would be cool if one had the option of either using the query builder or typing in SQL manually. The custom query would have to return only the set of issue IDs, which Redmine could then use to fetch all additional information it needs to properly display the result set in the usual way.

It would probably be possible to support the regular query builder on top of the custom query. For example, the custom query is used internally to create a view, and then the query builder is applied to the view, rather than the issues table.

Just a thought. It would certainly add a lot of flexibility for power-users, and they wouldn't have to constantly pester you for specific filter-related features.
