Postico 1 3 – A Modern Postgresql Client Documentation

broken image


DataGrip, DBeaver, and Navicat for PostgreSQL are probably your best bets out of the 17 options considered. Fluid 2 0 2. 'Much more powerful than its counterparts' is the primary reason people pick DataGrip over the competition. This page is powered by a knowledgeable community that.

  1. The PostgreSQL client is distributed in the appositely named postgresql-client so all you need to do is run: sudo apt-get install postgresql-client This will install the PostgreSQL 10 client, which can happily connect to earlier versions of PostgreSQL. 2 or newer and requires Java 6 or newer.debug Enable additional output for debugging.

  3. A Modern PostgreSQL Client for the Mac. #macos, #database, #database-service, #apps 6 people use Postico. Yes I use something else.

Aqua Data Studio

The Aqua Data Studio Entity Relationship Modeler (ER Modeler) helps you design complex database models for all major RDBMS vendors and versions. Use the Forward Engineer feature to model entities and convert them into SQL Scripts, or Reverse Engineer existing databases to visualize a database model.

DeZign

An intuitive database design and modeling tool for developers and DBA's that can help you model, create and maintain databases. The software uses entity relationship diagrams (ERDs, data models) to graphically design databases and automatically generates the most popular SQL and desktop databases.

ERBuilder Data Modeler

ERBuilder Data Modeler is a GUI data modeling tool that allows developers to visualize, design, and model databases by using entity relationship diagrams and automatically generates the most popular SQL databases. Generate and share the data Model documentation with your team. Optimize your data model by using advanced features such as test data generation, schema compare, and schema synchronization.

PostgreSQL Maestro

Toad Data Modeler

Toad Data Modeler enables you to rapidly deploy accurate changes to data structures across more than 20 different platforms. It allows you to construct logical and physical data models, compare and synchronize models, quickly generate complex SQL/DDL, create and modify scripts, as well as reverse and forward engineer both databases and data warehouse systems.

May have free versions? Website is a bit of a wreck.

EMS SQL Manager

Cross-Platform

This is a utility which will run through PostgreSQL system tables and returns HTML, DOT, and several styles of XML which describe the database.

As a result, documentation about a project can be generated quickly and be automatically updatable, yet have a quite professional look if you do some DSSSL/CSS work.

Schema Spy

LGPLv3 Java based console tool to auto-generate documentation in HTML format for an existing database. It uses viz.js or, optionally, Graphviz to render ERD diagrams. It can render markdown for database object comments. Also it allow some basic preprocessing defined with XML configuration file such as implied relationships, column suppression, foreign/remote tables.
