A WWW interface doesn't preclude the suggestion of simply relying on
permissions to maintain safety and providing what amounts to a query
command line; I've got that exact thing in php for one of my DBs. The
user can't make db changes, and just from paranoia I check the query
for certain bad keywords (delete, insert, into, update, drop, create,
alter, etc) before passing it on. On return, some simple php functions
create a table with the appropriate column names and such.
It's surely the simplest solution, and it definitely will work.
