Re: [GENERAL] Any freeware graphic display of DDL software available?
If you use Amazon Linux on EC2, we have packaged SchemaSpy support for it. More details are here, https://lambda-linux.io/blog/2015/05/07/announcing-schemaspy-support-for-amazon-linux/ Best, Rajiv On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 7:46 PM, Merlin Moncure mmonc...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 10:45 AM, Susan Cassidy susan.cass...@decisionsciencescorp.com wrote: Is there any free or cheap software that will read in DDL and output a graphic display of it?

It is written in Java so needs the JDBC driver to access the database. It cannot read a DDL script but obtains meta data from the catalogue tables and can produce an ER diagram. It can do lots of other things too. It has to connect to the database, so PostgreeSql has to be running. There is a .deb package available for download. You'll need a JDK 1.6 or greater. I use it all the time. Cheers, Robert -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Hi, try DBVisualizer -- Regards, Bartek
Re: [GENERAL] Any freeware graphic display of DDL software available?
I use this script on an Ubuntu system: #!/bin/bash set -eu postgresql_autodoc -d example_dev -u example_dev -h localhost --password= dot -Tpng -o example-schema.png example_dev.dot dot -Tpdf -o example-schema.pdf example_dev.dot That gives you a schema diagram in pdf, png, dia, and dot format, including foreign keys. It also exports the table and column info as html and xml. I'm pretty sure you can install postgresql_autodoc with apt-get, but I don't recall for sure now. Good luck!

It doesn't appear that DBVisualizer does an ER type diagram, which is what I really need. Thanks, Susan On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 1:09 PM, Bartosz Dmytrak bdmyt...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, try DBVisualizer -- Regards, Bartek

What are the dot lines for? They don't seem to work on my Linux installation. I tried adding them to the initial line, and I see no .pdf output. I just see: Producing testdb.dia from /usr/share/postgresql_autodoc/dia.tmpl Producing testdb.dot from /usr/share/postgresql_autodoc/dot.tmpl Producing testdb.html from /usr/share/postgresql_autodoc/html.tmpl Producing testdb.neato from /usr/share/postgresql_autodoc/neato.tmpl Producing testdb.xml from /usr/share/postgresql_autodoc/xml.tmpl Producing testdb.zigzag.dia from /usr/share/postgresql_autodoc/zigzag.dia.tmpl The .html file just shows a table-like representation of each individual table, which is no real use to me, as I need the relationships between tables to show graphically. What do I do with a .dot or .dia formatted file?

Mogwai: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mogwai/?source=directory Needs JDBC drivers, but most database systems, including Postgres have one. It is a little fiddly setting it up, but it seems to work with lots of data sources. Make sure the PosgreSQL jdbc driver is in the class path before you use it.
