Database developers in need of an open source data modeling tool designed for PostgreSQL
About pgModeler
Create and edit database models easily with a simple and intuitive interface. The forms indicate which fields must be filled to provide the correct generation of SQL code. Get, modify, and redistribute the source code without any charge. This project has a public repository that allows forks and full access to the source code. Developers can create their own versions from the existing code. Built on top of the Qt framework, pgModeler can be compiled on Windows, Linux and macOS. The build scripts are easily configurable to resolve specific dependencies on each operating system. Design once and export to multiple versions. With its dynamic code generation, pgModeler can export the designed models to different versions of PostgreSQL (currently from 9.x to 13.x). Missing some functionality? Use the plug-in development interface and create your own extension for pgModeler without change a single line of the core code.
