Since I'm learning SQL in my spare time, I tend to use these feature in MS
Access and PgAccess to point me in the right direction or sometimes
confirm, or deny my assertions.

I like psql, but its not the kind of tool which suggests other
alternatives. It just says "this part is bogus." That's fine, but when I
fail to get it right after a dozen attempts, its nice to let something
else take a stab at it.
