Have you seen the tool pgadmin3[1], which is easy-to-use for any taks
working on a postgres-database. I work a lot with it. 

And not to forget
the webapp phppgadmin[2], which is an admin-tool for postgres-tables as
well. The positive about that is the usage in your browser, which is
quite easy. 

Perhaps you should give pgadmin3 a try.

Best
