To clarify that statement: - We try hard to make the query module as powerful, flexible, and easy to use as possible. As such, it should be able to solve a large percentage of use cases. Also, being field-based makes it usable by "normal" people (i.e. people who don't know SQL :). - Being able to use SQL for reports makes them inherently more powerful than the query module. I'd be very surprised (and impressed!) if we were able to become as powerful with queries. - The query module is limited to querying the ticket table, whereas reports can query the whole database. This should explain why we encourage the use of the query module, but that reports still aren't going to go away. -- Remy
