What is DBQ Pro?

Database Query Professional (DBQ Pro) is an extension to Database Query Standard, which is freely distributed. The primary task of this extension is to automate many of the common tasks that would typically require customization of the display templates using the standard distribution.

DBQ Pro offers these additional notable features:

1. Send notifications by mail during query execution;
2. Format result columns to be more readable by users;
3. Create links to other DBQ queries using the result data;
4. Execute multiple SQL queries via a single DBQ query;
5. Preload data into the form;
6. Restrict the viewing of specific data fields to users who are members of a specified group;
7. Dynamic checking of input as the user types;
8. A JavaScript grid that provides client side sorting and filtering;
9. The ability to prompt users with a custom message before moving to another query;
10. The ability to open a link in a new, unique window.
