I may come off sounding harsh (but I don't care): If you use the right tool for the job, you might
find your job easier.
If you want to map schema, use a schema mapping tool. There are lots of them out there. Case
Studio is an example of one that works with Postgres (casestudio.com). And no, I don't work for
casestudio. I don't even use it (it only runs on windows, which I try to avoid crashing, er,
using).
BTW
I don't use Word to map schema.
I don't use Outlook to draw images.
And I don't scrub my floors with a toothbrush.
