Comment on PostgreSQL Database Modelerparent

Comments

After all there aren't many high quality opensource RDBMS GUIs available. The only one I know is pgAdmin and even pgAdmin has some serious bugs. (GUI freezes easily when you have many windows open and/or do large queries; import/export barely work)

The only code I would trust is the code I generate myself... ;)

DbVisualizer (http://www.dbvis.com/) is an excellent cross-platform, multi-product GUI tool. Doesn't have many design tools (well not any really, but neither does PgAdmin). Java-based and not free, which gives freeloaders and snobs something to complain about. No relationship, just someone who has been happy to be a customer for many years.

Someone posted a link to a modelling tool.

I dunno about you, but it's pretty clear that the code I generate myself is the last code I would trust.

HeidiSQL [1] is pretty good for most tasks. Although, it doesn't have an easy GUI for building databases.

Neither pgAdmin nor Heidi are modelling tools.

Agreed, their only downside IMHO.
