pg_dot is a script that reverse engineers the database diagram from PostgreSQL system tables. It tries to generate a diagram as similar as possible to the intended Entity-Relationship Model used, including generalizations/specializations, unnormalized attributes and other abstractions that are hidden inside the database. This script is similar to the famous postgresql_autodoc script, but generates output only for graphviz. Also unlike postgresql_autodoc, pg_dot handles table hierarchy and will soon support unnormalized attributes, weak relationships, schemas and anything else I can implement. How to use: 1 - Make sure the environment variables that PostgreSQL uses are defined and pointing to the correct server and database. The variables are PGHOST, PGPORT, PGUSER and PGDATABASE; 2 - Make sure you have read access to the database. If it uses a password authentication, then set up a ~/.pgpass file adequately; 3 - Execute the pg_dot script and it should result in a png file that describes the database diagram. The name of the file will be the name of the database consulted.
