Oh this looks really good, I never can get Data view to do what I want without a whole lot of trial and error.

This is what I've wanted for a while, being able to query your data like you would a database is I feel the best way to utilize your notes content. I was considering setting up a local database of some sorts like Cassandra and sync all my notes to it for easier data querying, this might be an easier alternative
There is another issue with DataView. You, very quickly bump into slow queries in a medium size vault . I call having 4600 notes a medium size note, to be clear.
Similar to my plugin Query all The Things based off the alasql engine
