[postgis-users] Database Design

[Rob Tester]

Open System Architect supports PostgreSQL although it does have a few bugs that can be annoying. It has support for serial types as well others (but not geometry). It's open source and supports Windows and Linux.

You can get it from here:

There is also an open source fork of DBDesigner4 at

“Que la tierra se vaya haciendo camino ante tus pasos,
que el viento sople siempre a tus espaldas,
que el sol brille cálido sobre tu cara,
que la lluvia caiga suavemente sobre tus campos y,
hasta tanto volvamos a encontrarnos,
que Dios te lleve en la palma de su mano.”
