pgModeler
PostgreSQL Database Modeler
http://pgmodeler.com.br
PostgreSQL Database Modeler, or simply, pgModeler is an open source tool for
modeling databases that merges the classical concepts of entity-relationship
diagrams with specific features that only PostgreSQL implements. The pgModeler
translates the models created by the user to SQL code and apply them onto
database clusters from version 8.0 to 9.1.

browser-based, requires webserver
Admin
Similar to the ever-popular phpMyAdmin, enhanced for PostgreSQL, supports
browsing and modification of most types of PostgreSQL database objects, plus
execution of ad-hoc queries. Maintained by (who else?) the phpPgAdmin team.
(JMB 11.2002).
phpPgAdmin (and the required Apache and PHP packages) may be easily installed
using Stack Builder if you are running a one-click-installer PostgreSQL distribution.

TeamPostgreSQL
http://www.teampostgresql.com
browser-based, webserver included
AJAX/JavaScript-powered web interface for PostgreSQL administration. Browse,
maintain and create data and database objects from anywhere, in the web browser.
Supports SSH for both the web interface and the database connections. Rich
interface with tabbed SQL editor with auto-completion, inline row-editing widgets,
click-through foreign key navigation between rows and tables, 'favorites'
management for commonly used scripts, and more.
Installers available for Windows, Mac and Linux, alternatively download a simple
cross-platform archive that runs anywhere with simple script.

Adminer
http://www.adminer.org
browser-based, requires webserver
Adminer (formerly phpMinAdmin) is a full-featured database management tool
written in PHP. Conversely to phpMyAdmin, it consist of a single file ready to deploy
to the target server. Adminer is available for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL

JetBrains IDEs - IntelliJ IDEA, PHPStorm, PyCharm,

RubyMine, etc ...

http://www.jetbrains.com/
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
JetBrains Products - for example PHPStorm - have built-in database plugin.
After you configured the data sources of your project, you can easily create tables,
foreign keys, indexes much easier than usually, because the IDE is very smart; for
example by foreign keys it automatically sets the name of the key, and the related
columns. For me it is so far the best experience by creating a basic database
schema. Even with editable EER models was it slower... By the settings of your data
source you can configure the SQL dialect of your database. After that if you want to
add stored procedures or triggers, you will have code completion which is favorable
too. So I think JetBrains products speed up your work if you exactly know what you
want, and how can you make it.
For PHPStorm (what I currently use) there is a free license for open source projects.
For enterprise usage there is a 30 days trial, after that you can buy personal or
commercial license which are very cheap compared to other products.

Libre Office
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-5-new-features-and-fixes/
New native driver for PostgreSQL databases (for versions > 8.4 - support for version
8.4 will be included in LibreOffice 3.5.1).

OpenOffice.org
http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html
Windows, Linux, Solaris
Verbatim from the above URL :
The postgresql SDBC Driver allows to use the postgresql database from
OpenOffice.org without any wrapper layer such as odbc or jdbc. The current version
0.7.6 can be considerded as good beta quality ( with some known issues and
missing features). The driver is aimed at the 1.1 OpenOffice.org and OpenOffice.org
2.x versions, it does not work with OOo1.0.x trees. The final aim is to have an easier
to use, faster, more feature rich database driver than the jdbc-odbc solution. The
current version should already allow this in most places.

RISE - Model Driven Development using ERD / UML

http://www.risetobloome.com
Windows
RISE is a free software suite for model driven information system development. Use
a single source RISE model to generate your entire information solution including
database, web services and documentation. Boost development throughput and
improve quality and maintainability!
The RISE user experience is based on a project concept, similar to that of most
integrated development environments. The user works with resources and drawings
that are part of a single development project.
RISE supports a fully graphical approach to information modeling and system
engineering, using ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) as well as UML (Unified
Modeling Language). This includes drag-and-drop of entities, their attributes and
relations, as well as of views and entire web services.
RISE supports graphic editing of complex objects such as views and orchestrated
methods. RISE automatically safeguards the combination process, thus, assuring a
technically correct result.
RISE provides several ways to generate code from the model; directly to file, via the
RISE Server or as an Internet service. RISE provides code generators for the
database layer (SQL/DDL) as well as for the server side application layer (web
services and persistent classes). All database scripts are incremental allowing you to
install and maintain any number of databases from a single model.

defined in the RISE model are created in the database and possible default data,
entered in the model, is inserted.
