We database nerds overloaded the word query. In English it means to ask, search for an answer, etc. In SQL it means ``any request made to the database''. What the English speaking person means by query, we call SELECT. You need to select (not SELECT :-) the Queries tab, press the New button above, click in the large window (to get focus), type ``insert into junk values(1);'' and click the Execute query button. You will get a Table Browser window, and an Error (popup) window. The Error popup will say: Error executing SQL command insert into junk values(1); Error message:ERROR: parser: parse errorat or near "insert" As I said before, it could be intentional for that window to fail on all non-SELECT queries, but I am not the only one who makes the mistake of assuming it to be a bug.
