SQL comments are **very** useful to explain the meaning of the query. It's currently impossible to put it at the beginning of the field as seen on the screen capture: it leads to an error: `Statement must be a SELECT`.

It would be great to make it possible because:
* as the request is the title of the page:
  * it eases the search with search engines
  * it eases the search in the browsers' url field
* it acts as a kind of title: the global meaning of the query is immediately understandable
* some tools, such as Slack, are shortening long URLs and displaying the beginning of the URLs (eg. `https://example.org/products?sql=select+%28length%28data_quality_errors_ta[...]+%21%3D+%22%22+group+by+NB_of_issues+order+by+NB_of_issues+desc+limit+200`)

Beginning a query with a comment is possible with SQLite.
