Reverse Engineering PostgreSQL

Bug Reports
1

Hi

I have successfully reverse engineered SQL Server databases but when trying to reverse engineer a PostgreSQL database I have the following issues:

  • The schema screen does not display the schemas
  • I get the tables but no relationships. I have checked and there are relationships in the database and other tools (dBeaver which is free) are able to reverse engineer them.

Hi,

I have resolved this by updating to all the latest drivers / adapters. It would be great if Visual Paradigm downloaded these by default.

Hi Dennis,

Thank you for your information and suggestion, we’ll do some testing and consider update drivers.

Hi Dennis,

Sorry for late reply. We’ve tested with default driver version 8.4.703 but cannot reproduce the problem.
But we’ll still consider updating the default drivers.

Hi Dennis,

We have updated our default JDBC driver to 42.2.2.
