I added to someone else's suggestion on the wiki, but thought I'd 
comment here too.

It's essentially another button on the left panel that connects to a 
database server and lists database, tables, and fields.
Another "seperate toolview" would contain a text area to run queries, 
hitting ctrl+enter fires the query, and opens a new "editor tab" 
displaying query results.

I've often wondered if something like MySQL Navigator[1] could be hacked 
for this. Although it's not a KDE app, it does use qt, and provides the 
functionality.

I'd think an abstraction layer of sorts would allow for other databases 
to be used as well.
