I'm still on the hunt for an OSX PostgreSQL client with a table editor as awesome as aqua data studio's [0] (their java client doesn't work great on mac). With ADS you can edit the results of any query as if it was a spreadsheet, hit "save", and ADS will generate the correct insert/update statements for you and run them. It handles copy/paste across multiple rows pretty well, even with thousands of update/inserts, and I haven't found any other editors (I've tried pgadmin, jetbrains thing, navicat, this PSequel, and some others) that do this.

DbVisualizer has a similar feature, and works as well on a Mac as the Win and Linux versions - subject to occasional issues common to the JRE on your machine.

Thanks, just tried it out. This is almost there - it doesn't seem to handle copy/pasting multiple rows from excel into the grid.
The latest PyCharm 4.0 IDE from JetBrains support just this feature, and it's great. I am guessing that the upcoming 0xDBE will support this in a standalone app if you don't need a full blown IDE for another language outside of SQL.

Looking forward to trying it out! I've got the evaluation version of Intellij IDE and it doesn't handle copy/paste across multiple cells.
Thanks for your suggestion! The feature of editing query results is actually the second highest priority item in my todo list. (The first one is Query Bookmarks.)
