I've noticed references to different levels of importance on a 'to-do' list in the archives.  Is this one of those "yeah, it would be nice but we have no priority on when to get to it" features, or is there any chance it's placed a little higher for future versions?

Well, while I have some SQL, even MySQL, experience, I'm certainly no DBA.

Has anyone else found a good reporting tool for these features?  I noticed an email in the archives describing MySQL Control Center as a potential interface for this, but has anyone tested this for making similar queries?
