What is a PGERD file?

PGERD files mostly belong to pgAdmin4. PGERD files are used by pgAdmin4 to store entity relationship diagrams for PostgreSQL databases. They contain database design information in JSON format, which means the file is plain text structured data.
Inside a PGERD file you will find details such as:

Entities: Definitions of tables and columns.

Relationships: Links between different tables.

Layout Settings: Coordinates and display options for the diagram.

FilExt.com note: This file format allows the ER diagram to be easily read by both the pgAdmin4 tool and any text editor. For further technical details and support, refer to the pgAdmin website.
