* 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,

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).
