I respectfully disagree with SQL injection aspect. I'm aware of SQL injection and damages it can cause. Problem can be addressed in multiple ways.

 * darktable is single user database - that is data belongs to only one
   user. There is no data leak across multiple users of the application.
 * Damaging database such as dropping/deleting rows/tables is certainly
   possible, but it can be managed by read-only transactions or similar
   techniques.

I agree that SQL is not everyone's cup of tea or other preferred beverage. That's why I said others can help forming the SQL. Essentially goal is to come up with a result set of images that can be shown in lighttable view. One way is to write the SQL that returns a list of images based on given criteria. lighttable is essentially doing it after removing the GUI sugar. If a custom SQL can return image list, lot of problems can be easily solved - e.g. FAQ can maintain a list of approved SQL queries that can show the results.

Perhaps look up "SQL injection"?

Apart from that, SQL isn't all that simple to use, a few of the concepts are
not self-evident.
