generating charts with SQL queries
I think it shoud be great to give a way to generate chart only by passing a SQL query.
Like it can be done with jaspersoft.
I know javascript can't do this without a server side script but it should be very interesting and will be a very big steap to make Highcharts very easy to use.

I’m afraid this would fall outside Highcharts JS’s scope as a client side charting library. Also, sending SQL strings from the client would mean a security hazard.
This should be handled by each installation’s backend, alternatively Highcharts server plugins.
