Is there any software for viewing UML-like diagrams of postgreSQL DB schemas for the Mac? Here's an example of what I would like to see.
(source: google.com)
Cheap's good, free's better.
A similar question was asked here, but the software pointed to here appears not to be available for the Mac, and is no longer being supported anyway.
Some days ago I had the same question. I found several, but the one that I'm using is DbVisualizer. It is multi-platform, free, and easy to install. It also has a paid version, but the free one is enough for visualization purposes. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, Informix, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and many other DBMS'.
Here is the download link
DbWrench is not free (but not expensive either) and quite good: http://www.dbwrench.com/
PowerArchitect Community edition is free, but the really interesting features seem to go into the enterprise edition: http://www.sqlpower.ca/page/architect
Both are Java based and work on the Mac
Aqua Data Studio offers an ER diagram generator and ER modeler but it's pricey now.
Free licenses for qualified open source developers; reduced licenses for qualified academic users.
The accepted answer's link doesn't work any more.
Here is an acceptable tool that's free and produces graphic diagrams: http://www.dbvis.com/

I would to know which one choose MarkLogic vs MongoDB, I know its properties but in term of learning which one is more acceptable to choose? I have chosen MarkLogic but I think it's difficult to learn because it has a lot of documentation and it hasn't much comunity developers.
I have to choose one option for project our company and my boss is worried about MarkLogic's curve learning.
Help me which one choose.
Disclosure: I work for MarkLogic.
You mention your concern about learning how to work with MarkLogic. We have a MarkLogic University team that has excellent training resources. Take a look at their Developer Track courses. These courses are free and are available with in-person, via-Internet, or self-paced formats. Once you've learned the basics, you can follow that up with tutorials, the technical blog, On Demand videos, guides, and maybe a local Meetup, based on your needs. Our community may not be as big, but those who work with MarkLogic tend to be very helpful. You can post specific technical questions here on Stack Overflow.
The bigger question is what do you need from your database? For that, I'll join #Tamas in referring to his article comparing the two.

Please provide a step-by-step answer on how to build a basic Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) using the admin tool that comes with
postgres (pgAdmin) with the the database designer that comes with postgres.
Note that the general question on what is the best way to generate a diagram from postgres, is addressed in this softwarerecs.stackexchange question
Update
Sadly, the database designer is not released with the main release of pgAdmin after all. (At least the case for version 1.16 through 1.22.)
See discussion here and here and finally:
You need to use --enable-databasedesigner with ./configure to enable
it. By default, it's disabled.
There are too many bugs and rough edges and not enough people interested to work on it.
pgAdmin had a GSoC project in 2011, in the course of which Luis Ochoa designed the new database designer - which can also reverse engineer ER diagrams from existing dbs. Unfortunately it wasn't ready for release with pgAdmin 1.14 (the current version). But it's in the repository for version 1.16 that will probably accompany the release of PostgreSQL 9.2.
See a video here.
Screenshot.
Blog post announcing it.
There are still some rough edges, but Luis Ochoa recently announced he is working on it.
If you are running Linux, you could use pgDesigner: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgdesigner/

Does anyone know of a free build server service to coincide with scm/forum/issue tracking services such as sourceforge/googlecode?
Obviously hudson/jenkins service would be my first preference related to primarily java/maven2, but anything would be nice!
Thanks!
Cloudbees has an offering for FOSS projects.
Another one (especially for public Github repos): http://travis-ci.org/
Researching the same thing currently, I stumbled over jenkinshosting.com (reported as suspicious site, Aug2012)- Jenkins build server, free for FOSS. Haven't tried it yet, though.
Atlassian offers licensed and on-demand products to open-source projects. Bamboo may be included.
https://www.atlassian.com/software/views/open-source-license-request
A TeamCity based server farm is available for open source projects through http://teamcity.codebetter.com/. Read the announcement.
Another option for OSS is http://www.appveyor.com/, which is including support for Windows 8.1 store apps.
Jenkinshosting.com use to offer free open source hosting. It's worth checking out to see if it's still continued.

I use PostegresQL 9. Is there a free tool to derive UML diagrams from my databases?
Thanks
For creating ER diagrams by db reflection, I use:
DbVisualizer
http://www.dbvis.com/
It's free.
There's also postgresql_autodoc which can create GraphViz or Dia output. The diagrams will likely require further tweaking, though.
There's a free tool called Dia and a plugin called PostDia. They would do it for you.
Plus:
it generates postegres sql scheme files too
Both are free.
Requirements for PostDia: python and psycopg2, to install the second one:
pip install psycopg2
Found DBeaver here:
https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/34552/generate-database-table-diagrams-from-a-postgresql-database
Tested it with postgres. Works great.
https://dbeaver.io/download/
free, multi-platform universal SQL client. Supports all popular databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Sybase, MS Access, Teradata, Firebird, Derby, etc.
I think ArgoUML can do it. Let us know
EDIT: Actually ArgoUML does not seem to reverse engineer, take a look at http://databasetouml.org/roadmap.php or search more for extensions to Eclipse
There was Azzurri Clay plugin for Eclipse with db reverse engineering support (v 1.4 as I remember). But in v 2.0 the company developing this plugin moved the reverse engineering feature to the licensed version of the plugin. There were some manuals in the internet how to downgrade from v2 to v1.
EclipseUML can do the job but it is not free. What is cool with this tool is that they have a database profile therefore you can see full database information into your class diagram.
