Yes, but I hoped that a real query builder could be developed within
this project for example. I mean a robust, user friendly tool, which
does not allow user to build an incorrect query. It would be certainly
better to have such GUI component available also for C++.

I never said that you cannot. But I cannot then reuse your GUI
components in QBrowser. And I am sure that you are going to develop
really useful components.

Exactly, but I hope to use the components you develop for DB Manager
and those should go to gui lib, IMO.

I don't know, what do you exactly mean, but if you think that there is
a possibility for a reusable component, then it is just another reason
to stay in C++.
