Install VISIO on your machine, get any good database designing book, have a cup of coffee on the table and there you go !!!!

If you have relationships established between your tables you can do an easy database diagram using Enterprise Manager.
Also, you could create an MS Access Data Project linked to your database and create your diagram within Access (may print better then Enterprise Manager's diagram).
