This is not currently supported by PostgreSQL - from the docs
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/libpq-exec.html):
It is allowed to include multiple SQL commands (separated by semicolons)
in the command string. Multiple queries sent in a single PQexec call are
processed in a single transaction, unless there are explicit
BEGIN/COMMIT commands included in the query string to divide it into
multiple transactions. Note however that the returned PGresult structure
describes only the result of the last command executed from the string.

Imperfect in what way? It works fine for me. What are your copy
quote/delimiter settings (under File->Options) set to? You need to use
Tab as a delimiter on Excel on Mac - iirc, it's the same on Windows.
