Well, phpPgAdmin kind of assumes that it does, however since it's written to a webpage, it will appear as one line
anyway. I would need to just convert newlines to <br>s that's all.
The other dependency would be the new rule and trigger defs in that patch I sent in for psql recently. (And was
committed).
