Renney,

We've recently begun using Mogwai:

  http://mogwai.sourceforge.net/erdesigner/erdesigner.html

It's a lot like ERwin, but is open source and written in Java, so
it runs almost anywhere.  We run it under Windows and Linux.  I
assume that it will reverse engineer any foreign key constraints
that are defined in postgresql.  In our application, we don't
enforce the constraints so we didn't pick these up from the
database.  Instead, we drew the relationship lines between the
entities after picking up the tables from postrgresql.  It
figured out the crows-feet part from there.

Hope this helps.

Ray

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
      joining column's datatypes do not match
