an advanced search where you could just type in a SQL statement and return a result set that meets a very specific criteria... you know.. all the images by thorne, renapd, or versionthirteen that scored above an 8 and were posted within the last 8 days ordered by # of views. (as an example) you could have a database user with only read access that way you wouldn't have to worry about somebody trying an insert statement or a drop table or anything... I guess there's a limited # of people that would find that useful.. but I certainly think that it would rock.
