This is not maintained any longer (unfortunately because I really like it). And
the support for non-MySQL databases is nearly non-existing.

As the actual model is saved in XML I wrote an XSLT task to convert the
DbDesigner to an Oracle SQL script (CREATE TABLE....). It shouldn't be that hard
to adjust it for Postgres. If anyone is interested I can post it (the Oracle
version) here.
