Are there really no open-source design tools for pg on any platform
other than windows?  I've checked on GBorg and all I found were windows
apps and a general web search has yielded only one possible candidate,
gnome-db (which i have no yet evaluated).

What are others on linux using to build their db's.

Thanks in advance

I don't think it will generate SQL scripts, but you might look at Dia
(think Visio for Linux/Windows).  I've never used, but I've thought about
it a couple of times...

http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/

from their homepage...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dia is a gtk+ based diagram creation program released under the GPL
license.

Dia is designed to be much like the commercial Windows program 'Visio'. It
can be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has
special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams,
flowcharts, network diagrams, and simple circuits. It is also possible to
add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of
SVG to draw the shape.

It can load and save diagrams to a custom XML format (gzipped by default,
to save space), can export diagrams to EPS or SVG formats and can print
diagrams (including ones that span multiple pages).

Many third-party tools exist to do so for Dia. I find none of them
really usable (or properly documented) but it is a personal feeling.

It works but it is quite limited. For instance, labelling of arcs is
automatically placed (and in the bad place) and you cannot change it
afterwards.

In summary: Dia is better than nothing but I keep using xfig.
