Question
Background
MySQL Workbench can produce appealing and high-quality ERDs such as:
Research
What PostgreSQL ERD tools are available that meet the requirements? The following are unsuitable:
- dbVisualizer - Yellow squares.
- AquaFold - Yellow squares.
- SQL Developer - Coloured squares.
- Dia - Coloured squares.
- SQL Power Architect - Black and white squares.
- SchemaBank - Can't export to PNG; looks okay, nothing stellar.
- SchemaSpy - XML export makes it possible to write an XSL skin...
- Gliffy - Incompatible Flash version.
- Druid - No.
Requirements
Looking for an ERD tool:
- Visually stunning by default
- Can reverse-engineer a PostgreSQL (or JDBC-compliant) database
- Runs on Linux (or under WINE)
- Export high-resolution PNG (or SVG)
- Free or Open Source
Solution
This is a little bit dated question, but for completeness. What about PgModeler? According to their github repo it's under GPL3. Schema creation works well.
OTHER TIPS
DbSchema is the best one to generate ERD for Postgresql
Installing DbSchema on Linux
wget http://www.dbschema.com/DbSchema.zip
unzip DbSchema.zip
cd DbSchema
chmod +x DbSchema.sh
To run DbSchema
./DbSchema.sh
You may try DbVisualizer. In my opinion, DbVisualizer in references graphs has met my needs in generating ERD from existing database.
What about SQL Power Architect? Works for many databases, PostgreSQL included, and on many operating systems.
