For developers I recommend the EMS Manager tools.  They are a commercial product but I have been very pleased with them and we use the tools every day.  They are not exactly like SQL Manager but they serve the same purpose.  See http://www.sqlmanager.net/ .

PostgreSQL itsself is a database server, not a front-end form designer.

However, using the PostgreSQL ODBC driver, you should be able to
continue using your current front-ends (like Access).

If you don't like this, maybe you can look at GNU Enterprise,
OpenOffice.org database module, Delphi/Kylix or others. (I admit I've
used none of those yet, we use PostgreSQL as backend for "real"
applications.)

HTH,
