Description

Hi,

When hitting the "Sample" button, Query Builder freezes. I presume this is because there's a large database associated with the layer. However, this should not happen. Either the function should quickly return a small resultset, or it should run in a separate thread and the user interface should provide a button to interrupt it and return a small sample.

To reproduce, open a layer with a sufficiently large set, e.g. polygons and data for UK postcodes, open the Query builder and click on "Sample" button.

This has been found on QGIS 2.14.1 64bit, running on Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

Please link/attach a dataset that can be used to replicate the issue.

QGIS does some work in the background to generate the sample.

To have it in a separate thread with option to cancel the operation is more of a feature request than a bug.
