Description
### What happened?
The postgres/timescale query builder has been completely changed since past versions and is missing a ton of functionality.
Old:
New:
We're missing the ability to remap the time column and the WHERE clause, at least. Why remove this?
### What did you expect to happen?
I expected the latest version of Grafana to have a user interface that at least contains the features that older versions had. Why *remove* the features from the query builder?
### Did this work before?
Yeah. Deleting a feature from UI makes that feature stop working.
### How do we reproduce it?
Try to use the Postgres query builder.
### Is the bug inside a dashboard panel?
_No response_
### Environment (with versions)?
Grafana v12.3.2 (df2547decd)
Linux/Firefox
### Grafana platform?
Docker
### Datasource(s)?
Postgres/Timescale
Contributor guide
Research direction
Use the old and new query-builder screenshots as the starting reference, then inspect the Postgres/Timescale query builder and compare its available options with the older version. Confirm how time-column remapping and WHERE-clause editing previously worked; done means those controls and their query behavior are restored or their intended replacement is defined.
