How? If there is no RETURNING present in the command...
I'm not sure if this is all possible, but you might:
o make all editable views editable in pgAdmin as an option (costs performance i guess, maybe some unexpected results if the rules do strange things)
o if there are on update rules present, allow editing the values. After leaving the row refresh the row.
o if there are on delete rules present, allow deleting rows. After deleting rows, check if they exist, if so refresh them.
o if there are on insert rules present.. dang, don't know how to do that. Act the same way you do when inserting in a normal table i guess.
Of course the rule may do something completely unexpected, of which pgAdmin would know nothing. In that case you might have to press the refresh button a lot. Maybe make a guru hint out of that.
But i think that any sensible use would be enabled by this.
