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.
That's a neat trick. The display in the interactive *SQL* (for me anyway) is a bit buggy (some newlines are not being inserted where I would expect them), but this is only a minor annoyance. Being able to execute a chunk of buffer on the spot like that is just awesome. (I like Ctrl-C Ctrl-C OK, but I like Ctrl-C Ctrl-R even more.)
Thanks!
