> Outliners are used in this area for decades.

What outliners do you know which allow end-users to feed their data into formulas for processing it without using general-purpose programming languages? I'm genuinely interested, as I've been exploring these tools for years and I haven't found any that meets my requirements.

How many end-users without any programming experience are able to create moderately complex SQL queries?

With a data-centric outliner tool, they'll be able to decompose those into several simple graphical queries.
