Hi,

Try Argo UML, an Open Source CASE Tool. Pretty sophisticated.

I haven't tried this out yet, but ran across it today. Note! It's
marked as being in the "Planning, Pre-Alpha" stage.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/incubus/

Personally, I use TreePad with text-only markup.

For example, Contact -o-------------+< Company signafies that the
Contact table has a zero-to-many relationship to the Company table,
and that for every Contact record there /must/ be a Company record.
Then when I want to look at any ERDs I've made for a given table, I
just run a search on the entire tree. It's a kludgy hack, but it works
for me. YMMV.
