I'm not a database guru and I'm not 100% clear on "ERD ERM", but I will  
try to help anyway :)

I used to work at an Oracle-heavy shop and the preference for the DBAs and  
developers was a tool called TOAD. You can find this software at  
http://toadworld.com/. It doesn't seem to be well known outside of the  
Oracle circles, but if their support for Postgres is half as good as their  
support for Oracle I think you would find it to be an amazing tool for  
visualizing the database, building queries, etc.

Good luck!
