The point to a BI tool like BO is to abstract the data collection and do
it dynamically. The SQL is built at run time because the tool is
designed to give the end user as much flexibility as the data structure
allows to query the data however they want.
It isn't feasible, possible, or recommended to rewrite all of the
possible generated SQL that could be designed at runtime by the tool.
