I would recommend using the UML shapeset, since it is closest to ERD
toolsets.

Use Classes for tables & views, Associations for foreign-key relationships
(use the aggregate checkbox to indicate the many side of a one-to-many
relationship).

If, at the end, you want the ERD to generate SQL DDL for your RDBMS,
check http://tedia2sql.tigris.org before you begin.
