I personally like the ER diagram viewer in DBeaver. On a project with very little documentation, it was extremely pleasing to point it to the staging database and be able to visualize the relationships between various entities.

SchemaSpy can generate static docs based on a live db, and they include pretty good ER diagrams (IMO).

They have a sample on their website (go to the relationships section):

The convenience factor is that you don't need a continuous connection to the db to refer to the diagrams or other docs.
