<br />
=== pgModeler ===<br />
<br />
PostgreSQL Database Modeler<br />
<br />
http://pgmodeler.com.br<br />
<br />
PostgreSQL Database Modeler, or simply, pgModeler is an open source tool for modeling databases that merges the classical concepts of entity-relationship diagrams with specific features that only PostgreSQL implements. The pgModeler translates the models created by the user to SQL code and apply them onto database clusters from version 8.0 to 9.1.<br />
<br />
=== pgAdmin III ===<br />
<br />
http://www.pgadmin.org/<br />
<br />
MS Windows, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, OpenBSD, Solaris<br />
<br />
Admin<br />
<br />
pgAdmin III is THE Open Source management tool for your PostgreSQL databases. Features full Unicode support, fast, multithreaded query and data editting tools and support for all PostgreSQL object types.<br />
<br />
pgAdmin III is bundled with the Windows installer, and you can use that such a client to administer a remote server on another OS. Note that binary packages for platforms like RPM don't show up in every point release, you currently have to go back to v1.8.0 to get the last full set of packages.<br />
<br />
Free Administration Centre for the PostgreSQL database. Includes a graphical administration interface, an SQL query tool, a procedural code editor and much more. pgAdmin III is designed to answer the needs of most users, from writing simple SQL queries to developing complex databases. The graphical interface supports all PostgreSQL features and makes administration easy. Available in more than 30 languages and for several operating systems. <br />
<br />
=== phpPgAdmin ===<br />
<br />
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phppgadmin<br />
<br />
browser-based, requires webserver<br />
<br />
Admin<br />
<br />
Similar to the ever-popular phpMyAdmin, enhanced for PostgreSQL, supports browsing and modification of most types of PostgreSQL database objects, plus execution of ad-hoc queries. Maintained by (who else?) the phpPgAdmin team. (JMB 11.2002).<br />
<br />
phpPgAdmin (and the required Apache and PHP packages) may be easily installed using Stack Builder if you are running a one-click-installer PostgreSQL distribution.<br />
<br />
=== Adminer ===<br />
<br />
http://www.adminer.org<br />
<br />

<br />
=== JetBrains IDEs - IntelliJ IDEA, PHPStorm, PyCharm, RubyMine, etc ... ===<br />
<br />
http://www.jetbrains.com/<br />
<br />
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux<br />
<br />
JetBrains Products - for example PHPStorm - have built-in database plugin.<br />
<br />
After you configured the data sources of your project, you can easily create tables, foreign keys, indexes much easier than usually, because the IDE is very smart; for example by foreign keys it automatically sets the name of the key, and the related columns. For me it is so far the best experience by creating a basic database schema. Even with editable EER models was it slower...<br />
By the settings of your data source you can configure the SQL dialect of your database. After that if you want to add stored procedures or triggers, you will have code completion which is favorable too. So I think JetBrains products speed up your work if you exactly know what you want, and how can you make it.<br />
<br />
For PHPStorm (what I currently use) there is a free license for open source projects. For enterprise usage there is a 30 days trial, after that you can buy personal or commercial license which are very cheap compared to other products.<br />
<br />
=== Libre Office ===<br />
<br />
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-5-new-features-and-fixes/<br />
<br />

<br />
=== OpenOffice.org ===<br />
<br />
http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html <br />
<br />
Windows, Linux, Solaris<br />
<br />
Verbatim from the above URL :<br />
<br />
The postgresql SDBC Driver allows to use the postgresql database from OpenOffice.org without any wrapper layer such as odbc or jdbc. The current version 0.7.6 can be considerded as good beta quality ( with some known issues and missing features). The driver is aimed at the 1.1 OpenOffice.org and OpenOffice.org 2.x versions, it does not work with OOo1.0.x trees. The final aim is to have an easier to use, faster, more feature rich database driver than the jdbc-odbc solution. The current version should already allow this in most places.<br />

=== pgAdmin III ===<br />
<br />
http://www.pgadmin.org/<br />
<br />
MS Windows, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, OpenBSD, Solaris<br />
<br />
Admin<br />
<br />
pgAdmin III is THE Open Source management tool for your PostgreSQL databases. Features full Unicode support, fast, multithreaded query and data editting tools and support for all PostgreSQL object types.<br />
<br />
pgAdmin III is bundled with the Windows installer, and you can use that such a client to administer a remote server on another OS. Note that binary packages for platforms like RPM don't show up in every point release, you currently have to go back to v1.8.0 to get the last full set of packages.<br />
<br />

=== phpPgAdmin ===<br />
<br />
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phppgadmin<br />
<br />
browser-based, requires webserver<br />
<br />
Admin<br />
<br />
Similar to the ever-popular phpMyAdmin, enhanced for PostgreSQL, supports browsing and modification of most types of PostgreSQL database objects, plus execution of ad-hoc queries. Maintained by (who else?) the phpPgAdmin team. (JMB 11.2002).<br />

=== JetBrains IDEs - IntelliJ IDEA, PHPStorm, PyCharm, RubyMine, etc ... ===<br />
<br />
http://www.jetbrains.com/<br />
<br />
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux<br />
<br />
JetBrains Products - for example PHPStorm - have built-in database plugin.<br />
<br />
After you configured the data sources of your project, you can easily create tables, foreign keys, indexes much easier than usually, because the IDE is very smart; for example by foreign keys it automatically sets the name of the key, and the related columns. For me it is so far the best experience by creating a basic database schema. Even with editable EER models was slower. By the settings of your data source you can configure the SQL dialect of your database. After that if you want to add stored procedures or triggers, you will have code completion which is favorable too. So I think JetBrains products speed up your work if you exactly know what you want, and how can you make it.<br />
<br />
For PHPStorm (what I currently use) there is a free license for open source projects. For enterprise usage there is a 30 days trial, after that you can buy personal or commercial license which are very cheap compared to other products.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== OpenOffice.org ===<br />
<br />
http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html <br />
<br />
Windows, Linux, Solaris<br />
<br />
Verbatim from the above URL :<br />
<br />
The postgresql SDBC Driver allows to use the postgresql database from OpenOffice.org without any wrapper layer such as odbc or jdbc. The current version 0.7.6 can be considerded as good beta quality ( with some known issues and missing features). The driver is aimed at the 1.1 OpenOffice.org and OpenOffice.org 2.x versions, it does not work with OOo1.0.x trees. The final aim is to have an easier to use, faster, more feature rich database driver than the jdbc-odbc solution. The current version should already allow this in most places.<br />

<br />
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux<br />
<br />
JetBrains Products - for example PHPStorm - have built-in database plugin.<br />
<br />
After you configured the data sources of your project, you can easily create tables, foreign keys, indexes much easier than usually, because the IDE is very smart; for example by foreign keys it automatically sets the name of the key, and the related columns. For me it is so far the best experience by creating a basic database schema. Even with editable EER models was slower. By the settings of your data source you can configure the SQL dialect of your database. After that if you want to add stored procedures or triggers, you will have code completion which is favorable too. So I think JetBrains products speed up your work if you exactly know what you want, and how can you make it.<br />
<br />
For PHPStorm (what I currently use) there is a free license for open source projects. For enterprise usage there is a 30 days trial, after that you can buy personal or commercial license which are very cheap compared to other products.<br />

Verbatim from the above URL :<br />
<br />
The postgresql SDBC Driver allows to use the postgresql database from OpenOffice.org without any wrapper layer such as odbc or jdbc. The current version 0.7.6 can be considerded as good beta quality ( with some known issues and missing features). The driver is aimed at the 1.1 OpenOffice.org and OpenOffice.org 2.x versions, it does not work with OOo1.0.x trees. The final aim is to have an easier to use, faster, more feature rich database driver than the jdbc-odbc solution. The current version should already allow this in most places.<br />

=== pgAdmin III ===<br />
<br />
http://www.pgadmin.org/<br />
<br />
MS Windows, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, OpenBSD, Solaris<br />
<br />
Admin<br />
<br />
pgAdmin III is THE Open Source management tool for your PostgreSQL databases. Features full Unicode support, fast, multithreaded query and data editting tools and support for all PostgreSQL object types.<br />
<br />
pgAdmin III is bundled with the Windows installer, and you can use that such a client to administer a remote server on another OS. Note that binary packages for platforms like RPM don't show up in every point release, you currently have to go back to v1.8.0 to get the last full set of packages.<br />
<br />

=== phpPgAdmin ===<br />
<br />
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phppgadmin<br />
<br />
browser-based, requires webserver<br />
<br />
Admin<br />
<br />
Similar to the ever-popular phpMyAdmin, enhanced for PostgreSQL, supports browsing and modification of most types of PostgreSQL database objects, plus execution of ad-hoc queries. Maintained by (who else?) the phpPgAdmin team. (JMB 11.2002).<br />

<br />
=== JetBrains Products ===<br />
<br />
http://www.jetbrains.com/<br />
<br />
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux<br />
<br />
JetBrains Products - for example PHPStorm - have built-in database plugin.<br />
<br />
After you configured the data sources of your project, you can easily create tables, foreign keys, indexes much easier than usually, because the IDE is very smart; for example by foreign keys it automatically sets the name of the key, and the related columns. For me it is so far the best experience by creating a basic database schema. Even with editable EER models was slower. By the settings of your data source you can configure the SQL dialect of your database. After that if you want to add stored procedures or triggers, you will have code completion which is favorable too. So I think JetBrains products speed up your work if you exactly know what you want, and how can you make it.<br />
<br />
For PHPStorm (what I currently use) there is a free license for open source projects. For enterprise usage there is a 30 days trial, after that you can buy personal or commercial license which are very cheap compared to other products.<br />
<br />
=== Libre Office ===<br />

<br />
=== OpenOffice.org ===<br />
<br />
http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html <br />
<br />
Windows, Linux, Solaris<br />
<br />
Verbatim from the above URL :<br />
<br />
The postgresql SDBC Driver allows to use the postgresql database from OpenOffice.org without any wrapper layer such as odbc or jdbc. The current version 0.7.6 can be considerded as good beta quality ( with some known issues and missing features). The driver is aimed at the 1.1 OpenOffice.org and OpenOffice.org 2.x versions, it does not work with OOo1.0.x trees. The final aim is to have an easier to use, faster, more feature rich database driver than the jdbc-odbc solution. The current version should already allow this in most places.<br />

<br />
Admin<br />
<br />

<br />
pgAdmin III is bundled with the Windows installer, and you can use that such a client to administer a remote server on another OS.

browser-based, requires webserver<br />
<br />
Admin<br />
<br />
Similar to the ever-popular phpMyAdmin, enhanced for PostgreSQL, supports browsing and modification of most types of PostgreSQL database objects, plus execution of ad-hoc queries. Maintained by (who else?) the phpPgAdmin team. (JMB 11.2002).<br />

=== JetBrains Products ===<br />
<br />
http://www.jetbrains.com/<br />
<br />
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux<br />
<br />
JetBrains Products - for example PHPStorm - have built-in database plugin.<br />
<br />
After you configured the data sources of your project, you can easily create tables, foreign keys, indexes much easier than usually, because the IDE is very smart; for example by foreign keys it automatically sets the name of the key, and the related columns. For me it is so far the best experience by creating a basic database schema. Even with editable EER models was slower. By the settings of your data source you can configure the SQL dialect of your database. After that if you want to add stored procedures or triggers, you will have code completion which is favorable too. So I think the products speed up your work if you exactly know what you want, and how can you make it.<br />
<br />
For PHPStorm (what I currently use) there is a free license for open source projects. For enterprise usage there is a 30 days trial, after that you can buy personal or commercial license which are very cheap compared to other products.<br />

=== OpenOffice.org ===<br />
<br />
http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html <br />
<br />
Windows, Linux, Solaris<br />
<br />
Verbatim from the above URL :<br />
<br />
The postgresql SDBC Driver allows to use the postgresql database from OpenOffice.org without any wrapper layer such as odbc or jdbc. The current version 0.7.6 can be considerded as good beta quality ( with some known issues and missing features). The driver is aimed at the 1.1 OpenOffice.org and OpenOffice.org 2.x versions, it does not work with OOo1.0.x trees. The final aim is to have an easier to use, faster, more feature rich database driver than the jdbc-odbc solution. The current version should already allow this in most places.<br />

RISE supports a fully graphical approach to information modeling and system engineering, using ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) as well as UML (Unified Modeling Language). This includes drag-and-drop of entities, their attributes and relations, as well as of views and entire web services.<br />
<br />
RISE supports graphic editing of complex objects such as views and orchestrated methods. RISE automatically safeguards the combination process, thus, assuring a technically correct result. <br />
<br />
RISE provides several ways to generate code from the model; directly to file, via the RISE Server or as an Internet service. RISE provides code generators for the database layer (SQL/DDL) as well as for the server side application layer (web services and persistent classes). All database scripts are incremental allowing you to install and maintain any number of databases from a single model. <br />
