Exactly. I've seen quite a lot of querying tools, and most of them were
quite ugly and at the edge of usability. For my experience, I think two
tool windows are the easiest way to handle it, not only in concerning
coding, but also regarding user handling. The best tool I've been
working with was MSSQL2000's ISQLW, which does use separate windows for
editing and arbitrary query output. And pgadmin3 is going to be better,
because its schema representation is better.

For a programmer, acceptance stands and falls by the tools. We are on
the way to supply a tool that leaves virtually no wishes. Let's show
those big companies that open software is better! Who needs O.., who
needs M..., we got PostgreSQL!
