Do you mean
a) An existing PostgreSQL server to which you would like to add a Glom
database, or
b) An existing PostgreSQL database that you would like to view and edit
via Glom.

If you mean a), then this depends how your PostgreSQL server is
configured. This might help:

If you mean b), well that's not a main supported feature of Glom, though
it's sometimes possible with some tricks. Glom is not a report generator
for existing databases.
