Can ER diagram be closed?

An ERDM diagram is said to be closed (CERD) iff it has at least one loop in it.

Is ER model still used?

More than 40 years later, and there is still no standard for the ER model. Both researchers and industry say that is a popular database design tool, and it is still a must-taught topic in almost every basic database course.

diagrams.net is free and on Github (I work on the project). It does work on Linux and has a generic SQL import, under Arrange->Insert->SQL.

You can save either locally, or directly to Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox. There's also a Desktop version available.
