What is the ultimate program to make a drawing of a database model? [closed]

One of the first things I do when I'm on a new project is design a database model. To visualize the model I use a 7 year old version of Smartdraw. Maybe it's time for something new. What is the ultimate program to make a drawing of a database model. Smartdraw is for Windows only. Is there something that can be used on unix as well?

The best tool is pencil and paper.

Perhaps not the answer you are looking for, but sometimes the most simple solution is the best. :-)

A whiteboard (and camera to take a picture afterwards)
