I'm not quite sure if this would help your use case, but a few editors allow you to send blocks of text to other processes. For example, under Emacs I can hit Ctrl+C twice and it will grab the current paragraph and send it off to psql, showing the results in another window. Once I'm happy with the statement I leave it and move on to the next job (committing changes to some SCM when appropriate).
