One rather clumsy way to do it is to have a script which drops the
whole query and rule set and then recreates it. I do this when
creating views.
I have a separate window open with my editor showing the script in
question, nicely formatted. In the psql window I can then just \i the
script and see the diagnostics, then go back to the edit window and
edit the original and try again.
