Besides the fact that something like that is already possible:
What's the use of "table" and "column" in the URI? You connect to a database, not to a table.
With 'table' the idea was to do a "SELECT * FROM table" on that.
With 'column' added only that or those columns would be listed.
The "sql" part in the end was supposed to be a SQL-statement to be executed, like:
psql "postgresql://localhost/dbname/INSERT INTO foo VALUES($RANDOM)"
which should be equal to
echo "INSERT INTO foo VALUES($RANDOM)" | psql postgresql://localhost/dbname
