Обсуждение: Open source data modeling tools for PostgreSQL
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 Does anybody know some tools that match my criteria?

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.

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
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

I am developing DataDesigner, which tries to be an open source, DB independent, modelling tool. You can look at http://www.danny.cz/datadesigner.en.html, SourceForge project is at http://sf.net/projects/dbdesign I think it could be useful to share at least ideas or code of pgdesigner (the "schema" screenshot looks very good) and my DataDesigner ;-) Dan

Doors are wide open at pgAdmin for John and you to implement a powerfull data designer and distribute it in bundle with pgAdmin. Andreas and Dave have plans to release a pgAdmin suite including several applications (administration, designer, etc...). Each application would stay independant if needed. This way, we could reach a large number of potential users under GNU/Linux, Win32, FreeBSD and soon MacOSX, SunOS. If you are interested, please visit http://www.pgadmin.org. I cross-post pgAdmin mailing list in order to keep the address of your project in mind. Best regards, Jean-Michel Pouré

Folks might also want to be aware of the Clay plug-in for Eclipse. Clay
supports a few dbms, of which postgres is one. I've used Clay for a couple
of projects and I like it. Check out
<http://www.azzurri.jp/en/software/clay/index.jsp>
Eclipse <http://www.eclipse.org/> rivals emacs for having everything,
including the kitchen sink. It's a great java IDE and works on different
OSes (including Microsoft's; for those who must).

[sNip] 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). -- Randolf Richardson - rr@8x.ca Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Please do not eMail me directly when responding to my postings in the newsgroups.
