'Fraid not. Apart from a pen and a piece of paper ;-).
I find Postgres very "ergonomical" to develop with, particularly
in the earlier stages of an application: transaction-capable
DDL makes design changes easy to test without risk of
messing up the database; strong referential integrity
helps develop robust applications (having the app fail
on the slightest hint of bad data makes bugs in the app
much easier to find) and psql with its tab-completion
and readline support has gone a long way to saving
me from carpal tunnel syndrome.
