I am looking for a Visio-like product which runs on my Mac. I downloaded OmniGraffle Pro trial, but I don't see where or how to create an ERD for a database schema. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

2 You will find hundreds of stencils there: from good (they are actually stencils, with standard symbols, all integrated with each other, thoughtfully created, considering alignment, grids, magnets, etc); through non-standard symbols; to others that are just simple shapes with no integration or considerations. Of course, if you want to avoid re-drawing your diagrams, you need to choose which stencil to use with those considerations in mind. 3 I found the stencils available for ERDs and DMs a bit pathetic, so I wrote my own. You have great timing, I uploaded a few improvements to my Stencils just yesterday. 4 If you want a simple ERD, try the ERD Stencil. Many people call Data Models "ERDs"; if you are documenting the full schema, you probably need a DM, not an ERD, and you may find the Data Model Stencil helpful. Cheers

Does ERD templates offer database reverse-engineering of existing databases? I want to run a pure Mac development solution but like Visio's database reverse engineering features.
