Main aim of this tool is to create complex queries in a bottom-up approach. Say you want to create a query by joining 5 tables. Even though we declare 5 tables in the FROM clause, database will join 2 at a time. And then join another table with the previous result set. So this tool helps to build query similar to execution plan tree structure.

Isn't that kind of doing the job of the query planner ? Do you always come up with something better by yourself ? Genuinely asking here.
