Sorry, mate, you got your world upside down!

Your developers should be documenting and creating ER diagrams!
Anyway, Oracle Designer (part of the developer Suite) can do that.
Probably he's in a position similar to mine. Maybe he's the only guy
who can do databases, so in any project he does the database part
and provides some simple queries for the other developers.

Lots of Greetings!

Volker, I did answer seriously, after the antepodian stuff.
And your picture is not entirely what I read:
"I need ER diagrams to depict the schemas and relationships
between objects" - no! You create an ER diagram, and based on
that, you design the technical implementation (and perhaps
do some denormalization along the way).

And Designer can reverse engineer the database's technical
implemention into a technical design, which it can reverse
engineer into Entity/Relationship diagrams. Which in turn
can look quite different from the original ER...
