I've found MySQL Workbench to be most useful for creating "ER" diagrams.
Though the format is only MySQL Workbench specific I can take a diagram created in Workbench and export it to SQL and execute it against any number of SQL servers.
If you're working with MySQL this tool also doubles as an Administration and Querying tool as well providing the added benefit of integration between the three.

It's a good tool, a good explanation, but I will use DIA. Thank you!!!!– VassilisOct 14, 2010 at 9:20

2Extremely buggy (lost my work twice, crashed 5 times total), and printing to a PDF has unacceptable font quality issues (and I would assume a real printer also).– IiridaynFeb 7, 2017 at 23:35

1WB is not only buggy in behavior but in look and feel too (try to use it in a HiDPI monitor and you will see). There is a bug report about that since 2009 without any work on it (and so many other marked as duplicated).– sdlinsSep 16, 2018 at 23:29

What does "Install electric sheep" mean? The link heads to an auto-download page for dia. Is it some jargon?– IgnatiusAug 5, 2019 at 2:32
Umbrello can also create ER-Diagrams besides most other UML diagrams. In addition it allows you to export the Diagrams in form of code (i.e. in this case SQL).

try to use Astah Comunity, the application was able to create ER diagrams, class diagrams, etc.To develop applications that application is very suitable. I even heard the professional version could generate java code to class diagram and generate sql code for the ER diagram.
that application was built using java, so the application is multi platform.
