I'm curious what you find the best tool is to draw ER database diagrams.

I'm looking for something where I can quickly lay out the basics of the datamodel and the relationships. This would be for teaching purposes. So there would be no need to be comprehensive. (in fact, all the non-core columns crowding everything would be confusing)

you can check out dbm package. If you have graphviz installed you can navigate between the tables graphically. it only works for postgresql at the moment. you could use that for your own graphical view.
