Description: not a bug - just a request re user acceptability
Details:

pgAmin III query - if there is an error, it justs reports the character # at
which the error occurred.

How about going to the location at which the error occurred?

Or have I just missed a whole lot of configuration options when starting the
programme for the first time?
