The easiest way to query your database is the following:
create a file myQuery.sql:

## QUERY/SQL
## Usage: myQuery.sql	"x.col1 = CONDITION"
## 
psql myDatabase -c "select 
	x.col1,
    	y.col2
    from
	xTable x,
	yTable y
    where
	x.fkey = y.key
	AND $*
    order by x.col1"
// eof--------------------
and make it executable. 
Of couse this not very flexible, and not usable for inserting data.
