I need an applet that I will provide a graphical interface to create a
custom SQL string (Like a SQL "wizard".  The applet need not interface
with the Database, all I need is a string from it.  It would go
something like this:

A.  List all the fields, allow the user to "Add" the fields he/she
wants the query to return

B.  List the included fields, with a free text box beside them
allowing them to input a parameter string.

C.  A final option to allow the user to format the order in which the
query will be sorted.

D.  Return a SQL string, or a delimited string Base64 encoded to my
CGI.

IE there might be three fields, Firstname, Lastname, and Address.  The
user sais he wants to include Lastname and adress.  Then he free texts
in by the Lastname field < B, then he chooses to order by Lastname.
The applet would return the following for me.
				     | is the delimeter
SELECT= [LASTNAME],[ADDRESS]|WHERE= [LASTNAME] < 'B'|ORDER=[LASTNAME]|

Or something similar...

I would prefer that the initial list of fields, and the "return
address" be specified by me at run time.  As I understand, you can set
applet properties at run time with JavaScript right?  Or even better
if I could stick them in some kind of text file for it?
 
Well, if anyone is interested, please send me an email.  My time
schedule is tight, If I don't here from anyone in the next 24 hours,
I'm going to code the whole thing into the CGI program, but I think
that a quick little Java applet could do it much cleaner.  I could
code something similar in half dozen other languages in a matter of
hours, but I don't know the one language that matters on the web...

Please email me immediately if interested,
