Обсуждение: Schema diagramming tool?

Can anyone recommend a good tool for producing a good drawing of an existing database schema?  I don't need a design tool, but rather one that can take an existing schema and produce a nice diagram that can be further edited and "beautified."  I want something I can print and hang on the wall as a reference document for developers writing code and SQL.

Thanks,
Craig

SchemaSpy is kind of handy.

I used to use PostgreSQL Maestro for this purpose. Its Designer tool
is quite nice.

They don't say anywhere on their web site which platforms they
support.  Is this a Windows-only application?

Thanks,
Craig

I think it is. I worked with it on Windows. However it will probably
work with Wine on Linux, I have not tried.

BTW as I remember Squirrel SQL has diagramming too.

postgresql_autodoc is old and simple, and works (even for complex database).
