Re: Data modeling tool

Steve,

there is a nice tool out there developed by MicroOLAP
(http://www.microolap.com/), the Database Designer for PostgreSQL,
which lets you draw ERM diagrams and then generates the database from
that diagram. There's a free trial version on their webpage. This tool
is also capable of reverse-engineering databases.

There is also a tool called PostGeoOLAP, but I haven't tried it yet.

Cheers,
Alex

Thanks Martin,
I'm already using pgAdminIII to manually manage databases.

What I meant is I need a tool to design a database structure (tables,
fields, relations), so it can generate scripts to physically create the

tables when the model is complete.
I need this tools to make reverse engineering, generate documentation
about a database, etc....

As far as I know pgAdmin doesn't do that.

Hello,
I searched for a data modeling/build/management tool for postresql and

postgis.

I would like to have the opinion of users, which one really works?
Could
be open source or commercial.

Regards,
Steve
