You could use ledit, piped with psql works great. I use it with sqlplus
from Oracle too, adds me readline functions sqlplus doesnt have:
Under Debian GNU/Linux:
$ apt-cache search ledit
ledit - A line editor for interactive programs.
It has some OpenCAML dependencies, beware.
After:
$ ledit | psql yourdatabase
...my 2 cents
