I'm looking for a GUI query builder for a non-technical person who is

of any? |
Hard to beat Excel in that respect

Pivot tables are quite rare, except in real datawarehouse
/ Bvusiness Intelligence solutions, but those are usually
quite expensive.
I never tried myself, but MySQL + ODBCdriver + suitable
DSN definitions + MS Query + MS Excel should do the job.
Sounds difficult, and the first time it may take several
hours to set up and get used to, but at the end it is a
simple solution.
MS Query might be bundled with MS Excel, I'm not sure.
