I'm looking for a tool that's specifically for diagramming databases. I'm wanting to be able to group tables that are related, create a diagram print-out, diagram relationships (of course), etc.

Does anyone know of such a tool?

M$ Visio has various diagramming tools or you could use SmartDraw for the 30 day trial.

SELECT offer a number of tools such as SSADP Pro and Yourdon. These have features that support Entity Relationship diagrams (ERDS) etc. I dont know if its still around tho. The versions i was using were v4 and i think thats quite old from the look of the interface.
