It does show its MySQL roots in some places (e.g., SERIAL shown as Auto
Increment), but it has supported PG since at least February 2011
(because I wrote a blog post about it --

It does have an "SQL command" link that takes you to an "edit" window
direcly and you could specify directly, e.g.,
http://localhost/adminer/?pgsql=localhost&username=yourusername&db=yourdbname&ns=public&sql=

It does give a syntax error on that exact statement (just as psql does),
but it returns
?column?
$;$Hello World.$;$
if you specify it as
SELECT '$;$Hello World.$;$';
What I'm still amazed at is how adminer manages to present a graphical
schema display. I haven't looked at phpPgAdmin recently but that (and
its ease of use) won me over, even over pgAdmin.
Note: I'm using Adminer 3.3.3 (which is Debian stretch's default) but
there's a newer version: 4.2.3.
