In SQL Server I could copy sql code out of an application and paste it into SSMS, declare & assign vars that exist in the sql and run.. yay great debugging scenario.
e.g. (please note I am rust and syntax may be incorrect)
declare @x as varchar(10)
set @x = 'abc'
select * from sometable where somefield = @x
I want to do something simular with postgres in pgadmin3 (or another postgres tool, anyy reccomendations?)
I realise you can create pgscript, but it doesn't appear to be very good, for example, if I do the equlivent of above, it doesn't put the single quotes around the value in @x, nor does it let me by doubling them up and you don't get a table out after - only text...
Currently I have a peice of sql someone has written that has 3 unique varibles in it which are used around 6 times each...
So the question is how do other people debug sql this sql EFFICIENTLY, preferably in a simular fashion to my sql server days.
