in the shameless self-promotion department, I'm rather fond of my own
tool, Andromeda.

From your post, I think that you will be impressed with our dependency
tracking, change management, and overall build abilities. It was born
on Linux, I'm typing this reply in Ubuntu. It is gnome/kde agnostic.
What you may not like is that, because it builds all components out of a
data dictionary, it actually has no facility for managing the creation
of stored procedures. It assumes that everything important is in the
spec, and it uses the spec to build tables and triggers.
View management is the big missing piece, I simply have not gotten to it
yet, so I have queries in client code. I've recently begun to ponder
the form of views, but can't promise anything. I am still looking for
that first contributor though (hint hint).
Bottom line, it was designed to handle systems of hundreds of tables
based on my experience as system architect of similar systems. To get
to my goals I threw away some things that people may be surprised to
find missing, but the strategy played out and I got to where you want to
go, though perhaps not by the route you might expect.

Hi all.
I'd like to use a development tool for my PGSQL tables, indices and,
most important thing, views and functions.
Writing, fixing and maintaining functions and views is getting more
and more complicated as they are growing in number and complexity.
The tool that more closely mathces my ideas is Druid
(http://druid.sourceforge.net/)
It's quite good with table and indices, but cannot handle
properly the dependencies for views and functions.
I've seen other tools aimed to database management, but
they lack real "development" features.
Is there advice for a better tool to be run under Linux/KDE?
MTIA!
