I do not know Visio, but I have been using Dia for almost 10 years, and it's great. It's also free (as in speech).

Some people have compared Dia favorably to Visio.

SQL Server has built in functions to create graphs.

MySql Workbench is a nice Designer and free. The only drawback I find is that it only produce scripts for mysql.
