For more information about specific PostgreSQL property values, refer to the PostgreSQL database documentation. The erwin® Data Modeler documentation for the physical property editors provides brief descriptions of the controls on each dialog and tab, which you can use as a point of reference while working with database design features.
As a best practice, use the PostgreSQL ANSI ODBC driver for Reverse Engineering from Database (REDB) while using erwin® Data Modeler.
