Hello,

I really don't have a big problem if rpms want to install the 
sample-query.sql.  However, we won't support it because most or many of the 
queries are user submitted and don't work on all SQL engines (sometimes it is 
impossible).

However, for a future version, we might want to provide a bare minimum 
query.sql that has only queries that we are sure that work on all our SQL 
engines.

In any case, if we get bug reports on sample-query.sql, we will just close 
them as it is "community" supported code rather than project supported code.

Best regards,

Kern
