Been thinking about playing with PostgreSQL. When I did my research, on the PostgreSQL site, there were a few tools they "recommended" for design, display of schemas, etc.
Open System Architect seemed to fit my demands, but unfortunately, the installation documents do not exist, at least the links go in a circle to nowhere. There's a binary which I assume can be executed, but at least one of the libraries are versioned wrong, and I don't want to play with symlinks just to make this work.
Has anyone installed a tool for PostgreSQL that will display logical and physical data maps of a database such as what OSA is supposed to do? Can someone recommend something they feel is worthwhile, regardless of it's purpose, when running PostgreSQL? I'm running 64 bit Centos 5.7 and PostgreSQL 8.1.
Thanks for any opinions.

I use pgAdmin III from the rpmforge repo. The name of the package is pgadmin3.

There is a commercially supported version called DataArchitect from The Kompany. ( www.thekompany.com ). It's not exactly cheap. OSA and TKC's DA are from the same basic codebase, but DA is (or at least was) rather well documented when I last used it.
But it will do what you want.
