<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Out of idle curiosity, I
looked at Geometry Viewer. It allows just one data display layer
so you can only look at one table/query at a time. The style of
the geometric objects is hard coded so you can't change their
color, background pattern, line style etc. It does not support
color scales. I can't think of any use case for which it would be
useful.<br clear="none">

I would strongly suggest using QGIS instead. Not only does QGIS
have all of the capabilities missing from Geometry Viewer but it
will read directly from PostGIS tables. Since it's so widely used
there's lots of documentation and other learning materials; I
counted five different Youtube beginner's tutorials. <br clear="none">
