I can provide a patch for this one. It should not be too hard, I think.

EMS SQL Manager does the same kind of thing, but a bit differently. It
executes all SQL statements that are selected. For example, to execute
line 1, I would need to select line 1 and press Fx (I don't remember
which one :) ). If I need to execute statements on line 1 and 2, but not
the one on line 3, I would need to select lines 1 and 2 and press Fx.

Would you agree on such a behavior ? It seems more "powerful" but it
would differ from what you do now.

I can try to do this one too.

Regards.
