Is there a page at PostgreSQL.org where all these links are listed?
I've been saving each bit of mail that goes by on this thread...but
a page on Pg would be very nice.  ;-)

I was planning on writing an article; so far, I have a list of about 14
interfaces.

When done, the article will go up at TechDocs or the Postgres Wiki
(currently under development).

look under the sections ERD Tools and Database Design

Not that I'm not looking forward to your article Josh ;-)

Thanks.  This gives me a few more tools to look at.   Boy, do we have an
answer for the folks who complain "there are no GUI tools for Postgres".

I'll also have Justin update his list on Techdocs when I write my article.

While there are a number of GUI tools for PostgreSQL, there's still no real 
database design tool like ErWin or so.

Well, actually ERWin does work with PostgreSQL via ODBC.  The version I
tried was I think the last release of the 3.x series, and I had enough
trouble with it to decide against using it. I am told the 4.x series
improved things, though if your already familiar with erwin you probably
could get by. Instead I decided to use Case Studio 2.x, which is a
pretty good replacement imo. (For the record though, it is neither free
nor does it run on linux).
