Advanced > querys should be in postquel. I don't know about an emacs frontend but there is something in the tcl/tk domain. There is a library PQTcl for tclX that implements libpq for tcl. There's also an old and very preliminary alpha release (never to be finished however) of a browser. Both can be found on harbor.ecn.purdue.edu. They work for old versions of tcl/tk and the browser is build with an old version of xf, the GUI builder for tk. I managed somehow to use them with the more recent tcl/tk/tclX/xf releases on a sparc and a linux box, especially the browser needed some hacking. The library is very usefull, but I don't know if it's complete. Simple queries work. The browser isn't very usefull at the moment in my opinion. But it has some basic queries you can use to build a usefull one. I try to buils something that fills my needs but as I am no expert in both databases and tcl/tk/xf it's probably more private education but if something usefull emerges I'll let you know.
