I create an SQL file using a text editer, and then execute it in psql
using the '\i' command from the appropriate directory:
gavin=> \i bus.sql
I your case I would test it in one environment and copy it to another.
You could use git to track versions of the file and the nature of changes.
Though, I am sure there are sophisticated ways of doing this!
