Can anyone recommend good tools for reverse engineering database schemas to ERD/UML, preferably to some generic format.

A:
Microsoft Visio does a half decent job of pulling a database schema back into an ERD.

As you might expect, there are a few eclipse plugins that can do this. Clay is my personal favourite. It works quickly and with little fuss.
There is no real benefit over MS Visio Pro, except for cost (free). Both produce a file in a propritary format, and the best you can do to share with those that don't have the tool is some kind of export to an image. So not ideal.

At my company we use Sybase's PowerDesigner which is great, not only for reverse engineering...
