Hi! As far as I know, pgAdmin sends the whole query text to Postgres "as-is". Then, Postgres parses it and executes as a series of queries, returning output related to the last one. So, first of all pgAdmin should split the text into separate queries and perform them serially. Then it can append results to the output window (and probably render several result grids in a tabbed manner - cool!).
Well, I have looked into the several result grids, and AFAIR, you don't need to split the queries to make it work. The main issue for this feature is a UI issue. (And then a time issue, as you need time to work on this.)
How to parse query text and split it into separate queries? I hope that code related to pgScript feature will help.
