Hi,

I am looking for an open source / free data modeling tool for PostgreSQL.

It should - if possible - support:
- E-R Modelling
- relational data modeling
- GUI SQL interface to the database

Does anybody know some tools that match my criteria?

Thanks, Markus

Hi,

I am looking for an open source (free) data modeling tool for PostgreSQL.

It should - if possible - support:
- E-R-Modelling
- relational data model / modeling
- (GUI SQL interface to the database)
- platform independence (Win32, Mac, Unix/Linux)

Does anybody know some tools that match my criteria?

Thanks, Markus

There's apparently a tool called Umbrello, though it is a KDE-specific 
toolkit, it apparently uses an XML format that's common to UML modellers.

http://uml.sourceforge.net/index.php

I know this isn't platform independent, but perhaps the XML format is 
"portable" between UML modelling applications that are available on Windows?

That, or run Umbrello on a Un*x box, using the built-in Aqua X11 tool on 
Mac OS X, the Free software XFree86/KDE3 on Un*x or a commercial product 
like XWin32 for Windows (there's probably a XFree86 version available 
for Cygwin under Windows if you look).

HTH
Alex

    	The following may meet your needs:

    	    	Druid, The Database Manager
    	    	http://sourceforge.net/projects/druid/

    	There's also a front-end tool for general database management (only 
the GUI part, no modelling as far as I know) that you may find useful too:

    	    	SQuirreL SQL Client
    	    	http://sourceforge.net/projects/squirrel-sql/

    	Both of these tools are open source, free, and as a bonus are written 
100% in Java so they work on all major Operating Systems, PDAs, etc.

I saw someone mention Druid on here a week or two ago, and thought I'd 
give it a go.  All I can say is it's great!!!  Who ever thought that my 
DBs would ever be documented correctly ;)

Druid is one of the most useful tools I've used to date. Bar none!

I use PGAdmin for all my administration needs.

Cheers

T.

    	I encourage you to get on the web site and make some feature 
suggestions if you can think of any way to improve it (or at least just get 
on the forum and let them know why you like it, just as you did here) -- the 
developers there are very keen about all suggestions they get (I've made 
quite a few so far, and they've already implemented some of them).

    	Since Druid has specific support for PostgreSQL, I think it would be 
nice if it was included with the distribution as a "planning tool" (right 
next to the "administration tools" that are included now).

Dear Markus,

pgAdmin team was contacted lately by John McCawley <jmccawley@worleyco.com> 
who is the developer of wxpgDesign, a very neat PostgreSQL design tool under 
wxWindows.

The homepage can be found here:
http://www.hardgeus.com/projects/pgdesigner

We are hoping there may be plans for a collaboration with pgAdmin.

Best regards,
Jean-Michel
