Fire up pgaccess, which is a Tcl/Tk graphical front end to PostgreSQL.
Connect to your database, and hit the 'Schema' tab. Add tables, and define
linkages by dragging and dropping. Remember to save the schema. (It's
stored in the database in a table named pga_schema)
It's not full featured, but it'll stay with the database it documents,
and follow changes. That's why I wrote it. ;-)
