Add query parameter to hide SQL textarea

[ad-si]

It would be cool if there was a query parameter to hide / remove the SQL textarea. Then I could simply save a bookmark for a certain query and open it to see the data without having to scroll below the (long) SQL query first.

Interesting idea. I can see how this would make sense if you are dealing with really long SQL queries.

My own example of a long query that might benefit from this: https://russian-ads-demo.herokuapp.com/russian-ads-a42c4e8?sql=select%0D%0A++++target_id%2C%0D%0A++++targets.name%2C%0D%0A++++count(*)+as+n%2C%0D%0A++++json_object(%0D%0A++++++++%22href%22%2C+%22%2Frussian-ads%2Ffaceted-targets%3Ftargets%3D%22+||+%0D%0A++++++++++++json_insert(%3Atargets%2C+%27%24[%27+||+json_array_length(%3Atargets)+||+%27]%27%2C+target_id)%0D%0A++++++++%2C%0D%0A++++++++%22label%22%2C+json_insert(%3Atargets%2C+%27%24[%27+||+json_array_length(%3Atargets)+||+%27]%27%2C+target_id)%0D%0A++++)+as+apply_this_facet%2C%0D%0A++++json_object(%0D%0A++++++++%22href%22%2C+%22%2Frussian-ads%2Fdisplay_ads%3F_targets_json%3D%22+||+%0D%0A++++++++++++json_insert(%3Atargets%2C+%27%24[%27+||+json_array_length(%3Atargets)+||+%27]%27%2C+target_id)%0D%0A++++++++%2C%0D%0A++++++++%22label%22%2C+%22See+%22+||+count(*)+||+%22+ads+matching+%22+||+json_insert(%3Atargets%2C+%27%24[%27+||+json_array_length(%3Atargets)+||+%27]%27%2C+target_id)%0D%0A++++)+as+browse_these_ads%0D%0Afrom+ad_targets%0D%0Ajoin+targets+on+ad_targets.target_id+%3D+targets.id%0D%0Awhere%0D%0A++++json_array_length(%3Atargets)+%3D%3D+0+or%0D%0A++++ad_id+in+(%0D%0A++++++++select+ad_id%0D%0A++++++++from+%22ad_targets%22%0D%0A++++++++where+%22ad_targets%22.target_id+in+(select+value+from+json_each(%3Atargets))%0D%0A++++++++group+by+%22ad_targets%22.ad_id%0D%0A++++++++having+count(distinct+%22ad_targets%22.target_id)+%3D+json_array_length(%3Atargets)%0D%0A++++)%0D%0A++++and+target_id+not+in+(select+value+from+json_each(%3Atargets))%0D%0Agroup+by%0D%0A++++target_id+order+by+n+desc%0D%0A&targets=[%22e6200%22]

Having a show/hide link would be an easy way to support this in the UI, and those could add/remove a _hide_sql=1 parameter.
