Tool for Reverse Engineering of PostgreSQL Database on Linux (Ubuntu) [closed]

Posted on

Question :

Please suggest a tool to reverse engineer a PostgreSQL DB into an entity-relationship-diagram (ERD) or equivalent ??

Ideally, I’m looking for a simple ERD or UML class diagram in a format that is easy to work with (SVG, PDF or any common UML file format).

So far, I founded only software for MySQL and it’s for Windows,
but that’s not solution.

Answer :

Have a look at at (the order of the items implies my personal choices)

All of them work with PostgreSQL (and other DBMS)

(Note: I have nothing to do with DbSchema. I just think it’s a pretty good tool)

pg_autodoc is what I have used. It converts to dia UML diagrams. Seems to work ok. http://www.rbt.ca/autodoc/
