If you're looking for an editor to write arbitrary SQL and support
color syntax highlighting, you probably can't go wrong with BBEdit. You
can get the ANSI SQL glossary for highlighting, and although it won't
pick up PostgreSQL-specific extensions to SQL, it will highlight the
majority of the syntax. Also has great grep (including savable search
patterns), Applescript, FTP, CVS, and shell script support, if those
things interest you. I write most of my SQL in it before feeding the
file to psql or just copying and pasting the commands into phppgadmin
or psql directly.
