Обсуждение: Database diagram
I have a postgres database with many tables. How do I create database diagram? Are there any free tools available to create database diagram from pgsql database? Regards, Ganesan
Hi Ganesan, You can try ERWin (by CA). It creates Logical data model of the database. (though.. i haven't used it..)

ERWin is likely to be expensive, judging by the cost for an Informix license. It is also a serious tool; has its quirks butcan be used to reverse engineer as well as define a database with detailed support for triggers and the like.

I never used it, but someone told me that imports data definition from PostgreSQL. You can try it. Luis Sousa
There is a free Perl script which is called something like pgautodoc which creates DIA diagrams from databases. Take a look for it on Freshmeat. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ganesan Kanavathy" <ganesh@magnusquest.com> To: <pgsql-admin@postgresql.org>; <pgsql-sql@postgresql.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 1:38 PM Subject: [SQL] Database diagram > I have a postgres database with many tables. > > How do I create database diagram?

Dear Ganesan, pgautodoc (for dot output) + dot (from graphviz.org , creates postscript) + epssplit ( splits the postscript into multipage so that one can create poster size diagrams) works well for me. I have 45 tables in the database though. Regds mallah. Chris Travers wrote: >There is a free Perl script which is called something like pgautodoc which >creates DIA diagrams from databases.
