I did the Erwin/PostgreSQL dance for awhile when I first started with my
present employer as they already had a license. In order to get it to work I
would have had to write a set of perl scripts to massage the output, so I
ditched it instead for Case Studio and haven't looked back. It's not perfect
but it is plenty good for even complex schemas; enough so that really my only
gripe is that it doesn't run on *nix :-(
