Re: ER diagrams

Hi Martin,

Just to clarify this, does Visio 2000 work specifically with PostgreSQL,
or does it do it generically through ODBC or similar?

Either way, it sounds like it works and should be included in the ERD
Tools section on the techdocs website
(http://techdocs.postgresql.org/oresources.php#erd).

Does that sound appropriate?

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
