The does sound odd.

One of the problems is that pgAdmin sets up connections as it requires
to make things work correctly. Allowing arbitrary commands to be run
could easily break that - for example; if you changed the client
encoding. Additionally, it's not always obvious what connection will
be used unless you're pretty familiar with the way pgAdmin works
internally.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with pgAdmin's internal connection handling.
So I will live with query tool.
Thank you for your assistance and also for this great tool.
