Sorry, I should have also specified that we are looking for a tool where we can save the schema externally. Then take that schema and have the tool compare it to a database and generate a change script. So the process would be to maintain database structure in a tool. Be able to save the schema. Then have the tool compare the schema to an existing database and generate a SQL change script to update the database model. I am not an expert user of pgadmin, but my understanding is that it lets you maintain a particular database, but does not have facilities for comparing schemas and generating change scripts, etc. ________________________________________ From: Matthew Terenzio [mailto:matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: May 9, 2005 5:48 PM To: Mark Borins Subject: Re: Data Modelling Tools these are among some popular tools, the second being web based. http://www.pgadmin.org/ http://phppgadmin.sourceforge.net/ On May 9, 2005, at 5:35 PM, Mark Borins wrote: Postgres Newsgroup, My company has been looking for a good database modelling tool for postgres and have yet to find something that completely satisfies our needs. We are currently using a product called DBWrench which is pretty good and has all the features we are looking for but is full of bugs and creates much head ache. For example, this tool doesn?t realize that in postgres you can?t add a column and set not null in one ALTER TABLE statement. So we are forced to manually comb through the SQL scripts it creates and fix the buggy statements. So my question is, postgres general newsgroup, what database modelling tools do you use? Open source or commercial it doesn?t matter to me.
