"The goal of mezoGIS is to provide a tool for geo-spatial analysis with
PostGIS, through on-the-fly SQL queries as well as through larger,
external plugin scripts.

There are other, excellent open source applications that can display
PostGIS data sets (like QGis or GRASS). Those projects, however, expect
properly indexed tables as an input, and don't provide a built in
functionality to launch SQL queries."

I'm not trying to devalue what mezoGIS is offering, but does GRASS not
"provide a built in functionality to launch [PostGIS] SQL queries"  ???

Most vector functions honor SQL queries (where=), and db.execute will
pretty much do whatever else. As long as you change the default DB (DBF
has inherent limitations) you aren't limited in what you can do.

Have I missed something or has mezoGIS?
