It is *extremely* dangerous. But neither more nor less dangerous than
any interface that allows you to submit SQL directly to the server.
The \e command merely offers an alternative to the command-line editing
to craft your SQL statements and is very convenient when you are editing
a long statement. When done, you exit and the command is submitted just
as it is submitted when you press <Enter> at the command-line.
If you change your mind while in the editor, just clear the text in the
editor and exit. Nothing will be run.
Cheers,
Steve

Actually, just remove the semicolon from the query and it will not run
when you exit \e.
