PostgreSQL comes with the excellent pgAdmin-tool for managing the database but lacks GUI data-modeling utility?
I found this list: http://www.databaseanswers.org/modelling_tools.htm
but don't have time to evaluate them.
Which one do YOU recommend?
pgModeler looks promising: http://pgmodeler.com.br
You might also want to have a look at Power*Architect.

WWW SQL Designer is a great lightweight modeling tool, and it supports PostgreSQL.
SQuirreL also seems nice, I haven't tried it though.
The MySQL workbench is a fine modeling tool that's free, but you'll have to modify the SQL it generates for PostgreSQL.
If you have to pay, ERWin is a standard.
Commercial tools:
dbwrench
Embarcadero ER Studio
I've been satisfied for years with PostgreSQL Maestro. It's a mature solution and easy to use, but comprehensive.

i need one GUI that will work on windows and i need to connect on several databases. Access, mySQL, MSSQL, Postgres, SQLite and maybe in future i will need connection to oracle.
It would be nice that tool can move database schemas from one db engine to others without lot user interference...
Can someone recomend me tool for this?
Thanks in advance
Try with navicat. It should do everithing you need...
Try on of these:
SQL Workbench/j
Aqua Data Studio
Both work on Windows, Linux and Mac.

Does anyone know of a good web-based GUI I could use for database design? It is going painfully slow in Photoshop.
You can use MySQL Workbench to do this. There are many web-based apps as well. http://wb.mysql.com/
Try this web-based designer
Just had occasion to use this earlier today: http://www.dbvis.com/
Java/uses JDBC drivers so widely compatible
Produces reasonably pretty relationship diagrams
The free version is still pretty capable, and the cost is eminently reasonable
EDIT: Ah, not web-based, but...somethings you really can't fit into that box very well.

I am developing a windows phone 7 app which will need some basic database functionality. I came across the following projects on codeplex. Has anyone tried any of these projects and can help me decide to choose one, please?

We use SQLite since you can design the database ahead of time using standard SQL commands. It works pretty well on the phone.
I've written a quick start guide here: http://wirebear.com/blog/2010/11/12/using-sqlite-in-your-wp7-app
UPDATE:
This was a valid solution pre-Mango but it is NOT what I would recommend now and it is not what we are doing. With Mango Microsoft has given new ways to use SQL CE with LINQ to SQL and is the better way to have a database in your app. A good guide to getting started can be found here: http://www.jeffblankenburg.com/2011/11/30/31-days-of-mango-day-30-local-database/
There also are other databases available for the phone (see Local Sql database support for Windows phone 7).
What's best for you will depend on your requirements:
Do you need anything in particular? transactions? relations or objects?
What's most important? reliability, performance, etc.?

Which database should I use for a medium SaaS CRM? nosql or relational database?
Oracle
Sql Server
CouchDB
etc.
Any suggestions?
Wow, not giving us much to go on there. There are many good DBMS systems out there from the relational to document based to object based. One of the reasons there are so many is they each have advantages and disadvantages in different application scenarios. With so little to go on I'd say use the one you're familiar with unless there's a driving reason to use another.
MYSQL would be a great idea as it is open source and is gaining acceptance in enterprise also.

I'm obviously not talking about a full solution, but just a good starting point for common applications for software architects. It could be for a CMS, e-commerce storefront, address book, etc. A UML diagram is not essential, but a table schema with data types in the least. Thanks!
Check out the Library of Free Data Models from DatabaseAnswers.org -- might be a good starting point. I can't vouch for the quality, but there is a lot here...
Open source?
DB-UML might work for you.
EDIT:
Oh! The MySQL Workbench is good.
The mondial database. Is used for learning about DBMSs. If you need something quick and dirty to bang around.
try this one... database design document template.
very good and usefull template.
but it isnt free.. you have to buy it.. :(
