THE EXECUTE DIALOG

The Execute Dialog is the door to Postgres commands not included in the xpg interface.  It is opened by selecting the Execute Commands item from the File menu.
The Execute Dialog contains a text field in which the user enters Postgres queries, and command history list, which keeps the list of commands previously entered in the text field.  After typing a command in the text field press Enter to send it to the Postgres backend for execution. The command is added to the history list automatically, and logged in the Log Dialog (see the LOG DIALOG section). The backend response is logged in the Log Dialog as well.
You can execute commands appearing in the history list by double-clicking on their entries in the list; you can also edit them before execution by clicking on them once, editing the command which then appears in the text field, and pressing Enter to execute.

The Close button closes the Execute Dialog.  It does not erase the history list or even the command appearing in the text field.

The Clear Commands button clears the history list.

The View Log button opens the Log Dialog, described in the LOG DIALOG section. You would normally press this button before you start using the Execute Dialog, in order to keep track of the interaction with the Postgres backend.
