Custom query usage, can I run complex queries?

I’m planning to buy zapier for my team. However, there are a few questions that exist in my mind. And I’d like to know the answer before buying it. The workflow that I’m planing to run is:

  1. Connect the PostgreSQL to zapier. 
  2. Prepare a complex custom query. 
  3. Put the results in a google sheet. 

This is all I need to do. My concerns are:

  1. Is zapier able to run a complex query? This query must be able to join 5-6 different tables, run some window SQL functions, and some special data formatting functions. So I wonder if it is possible to trigger in zapier.
  2. If yes, also I wonder about updating the google sheet part. I don't want the delete or update previous month’s data, am I able to append the new rows to google sheet?
