    As an update to my original post, I still hadn't found anything that would
    do what I wanted it to which was to quickly put an ERD together for a
    databse model and as a second priority output SQL (even if it was the wrong
    syntax, I could then at least edit the file).

    I ended up finding a good basic (and FREE) db modeling software that ran on
    my windows XP machine. It's not the best for generating SQL but it's good
    for generating diagrams. For the SQL it looks like it supports some oracle
    app. It doesn't include a lot of datatypes either. But the SQL as it at
    least edit-able. The diagrams look pretty good and it saves your project
    as an xml file instead of some proprietary format. It also can save the ERD
    as a .gif as well! ANd it's free, so that's a big plus. For those
    interested (again, it runs on windows).

    Very easy to install, small app .
    For those interested in seeing sample image/sample output, here is the
    beginning of what I'm working on:

    Cheers people. Thanks to everyone for their responses.
    By the way, I did work on dia a little bit and it wasn't what what I was
    looking for . Unless I missed something, it seemed more like a basic diagram
    tool (and a good one at that) but not a good ERD tool.
