Search the archives this came up within the last couple of months.  I
currently use Power Architect, it's a beta product and still fairly
buggy but works.

Considering that PostgreSQL is a shared resource, you'll probably do
something more collaborative, at least at many stages.  Development
looks a little more like:

1.  Paper, pencil, trash can.  Lots of that last.

2.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

3.  Marker, dry-erase board, eraser, closed room.

4.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

5.  psql + $EDITOR

6.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

7.  $SCM

8.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

Cheers,
David.

I've tried out nearly every (affordable or free) ER tool that's available and so far the one I like the most is DB-Main
(http://www.db-main.com/doc.php?id=to1&lang=2).Which is not mentioned on the page above. 

Sincerely,

Wolfgang

I am compiling 8.4.1 and am seeking any/all architecture documents..right now the architecture (relationship of classes) i see is extracted from makefile dependencies
An architecture document will detail the layout of the System Tables and their classes(sorry as neither C++/java is not the codebase this would be C functions)
something like
Tablespace - Tablespace.c<pp>
                   Extents and allocation Parameters in StorageParams.c<pp>
Tables       -  Tables.c<pp>
                   Indexes and key assignments in Index.c<pp>
                   Cursor assignments via cursors.c
                     ReadCursor.c<pp>
                     UpdateableCursor.c<pp>
                   Column assignments on known datatypes
                     Int.c
                     VARCHAR.c
                     Date.c
Roles         -  Roles which will be assigned for group and User classes - Roles.c<pp>
                   Users - individual Users which are assigned predefined Roles -Users.c<pp>
Packages   -  external packages which extend implement Postgres functionality for specific Application Systems packages.c<pp>
                   Postgis - A geographic Information System which enables one to provide Geometry and or WKT parameters which map to core Postgres tables - Postgis.c<pp>

Would appreciate any documentation which identified core functions, maps base core functions to actual c file names (and ot their library names)

Martin,

Mapping these low-level details to classes is exactly your wrong move
for the same reason that mapping disk blocks to classes is.  It's
digging into implementation details--private methods--rather than
looking at the much higher level of abstraction that really concerns
it.

Cheers,
David.

I tried Power Architect for about 5 minutes, just enough time to
notice it had no support for UUIDs which makes it all but useless..  I
mean, seriously who doesn't use UUIDs :)

Maybe they'll fix that, it does look promising..
