(assuming you use some windows version :-)
- Download the Powerdesigner 45 day trial from www.sybase.com
- make an ODBC connection to your database
- reverse engineer the datamodel
- change the target model to postgresql
- install postgresql odbc drivers
- generate a database creation script and execute it through the ODBC
connection
- create a report of your database for your documentation :-)
