As with everything in Emacs, there's a mode for that.

In case you're not aware of it, sql-mode allows you not only to interact
with psql from within Emacs, but also to write SQL queries in a buffer
and then send the whole buffer or the region.

It's not documented in the info pages, but from within Emacs, one of
these should get you started:

  C-h P sql
  M-x sql-help

Or just do: M-x sql-postgres
