I want to know if there is a way to write sql statements in an editor,
so I can use cut and paste. Then when in the sql program I can run
the file and execute all the statements easily. I use mySQL. Thanks.

Probably, if you have a mouse, and tools that "play well" with a

One last point about metaphor, poetry, etc. As an example to
illustrate these capabilities in Sastric Sanskrit, consider the
"bahuvrihi" construct (literally "man with a lot of rice") which is
used currently in linguistics to describe references outside of
compounds.
