If everything runs on the local host and you are admin,
I guess I don't see a problem. :)

A developer I helped convert to the dark side showed
me a portal he found that was basically this, but
the SQL query was constructed from cookies. That way
the developers could remotely troubleshoot and debug
the app by using in-browser cookie editors or simply
dropping a cookie (query section) they didn't like
to manipulate the query dynamically.

Obviously there were a couple of other implications
to this implementation style as well.
