Hi you all,

His there any SW that can do reverse engineering on postgreSQL
databases? I need something that can create entity-relationship models
from an already made db, and something that can create a db from a model.

Thanks,
Bruno

Re: Reverse engineering SW

I use ER/Win for that. There are some other tools too. Search the
archives.

Generates HTML, DIA, and other formats....

Re: Reverse engineering SW

You can also reverse engineer a postgreSQL RDBMS using an ODBC driver and
MicroSloth's Visio.....

What about tools to get from UML class diagrams to PostgreSQL? Are
there any of those around?

Thanks,

Were you sucessfully w/ it? If so, which exact versions of all?
(PG, Visio, ODBC)

btw. DB Visualizer has a very nice reverse engineering.

Casestudio does this very nice.

Yes, the latter it does very nice. But the former not so - it lacks
an autorouter and you have a hard time to move table objects around
until you can see something ;)
