Yah, I can probably rewrite the queries to run in Search Actions, I'm
honestly not sure why they're set up as Direct DBMS.  However, the page
has a fair list of different queries in the menu & with slightly
different output for each, so I was hoping to avoid rewriting them all.
I suppose I could look on this as an opportunity to clean up some code;
I may be able to set it up with one or two queries and use variables in
the menus.  :/

I didn't realize until I was messing with this that the Search Action
seems to collect a fair bit of query info that the Direct DBMS Action
doesn't; I'm not sure when or how it's collected, nor where it's hiding.
Behind-the-scenes magic, I guess.
