I'm considering using postgreSQL 8.4x db on windows/Mac for development and linux for production. wondering what front-end tools are out there that are comparable to Toad (for Oracle) ?

PostgreSQL comes with PgAdminIII. It's OK but I feel there might be something better than that. I prefer free or open source but if something is NOT too expensive(we are a NON-PROFIT), would not mind evaluating.

minimal tools that I want
1) connection manager
2) Nice SQL Editor
3) Explain Plan
4) help with SQL embedding into various languages.
5) E-R diagrams would be good but this would not be a killer feature for me.

Anything work for you guys ?

Will be using java 6 to build the application(s) if that is relevant at all.

Thank you,
