KIDDAILEY Just thought I'd post an updated comment because my original one below is a bit outdated. I've been using this for years now, and it is by far the best ER diagramming tool I've used on OS X or Windows. Everything is straight-forward. You don't have to hover over buttons to figure out what they do and most of the work takes place in the canvas area (and optionally, the inspector) keeping you from having to constantly return to a toolbar or menu. The layout tools are simple. Color, notes and canvas areas make it easy to organize and group segments, types and blocks of entities around the work area. Printed output is fantastic and you can turn on page-breaks as well, enabling you to move objects to fit on individual sheets just as you want. Import and export tools are awesome, and being able to see the raw query as you work is handy. I use it for both MS SQL and MySQL. Though it doesn't (yet?) come configured to diagram for MS SQL Server, it is fairly trivial to get it configured for it in terms of diagramming. For MySQL and a few others, it's perfect out of the box. The developer is responsive and the software is actively maintained. For any serious DB architect on the Mac, this is worth every penny.
