Our company uses Rational Rose for UML modeling, and ERwin for DB modeling. But now you're talking serious money for either of those tools. Probably not what you're looking for, but I thought I would offer it up. Have you looked at Dia? It will draw boxes that you can connect. You can't generate anything out of it, but it's got the boxes.
Thanks Everyone for the responses. I went with Dia + tedia2sql for the time being. With Dia you can use UML class objects to do the drawing (turn off the display of functions. Adding attributes for the fields. You can set Primary keys by
setting them as protected elements. Tedia2sql can read
the dia document and create sql scripts that can be used to create the database objects with primary keys and foreign keys if you want. It can create for many db formats and can handle quite complex set ups. Not quite the one step type of operation I was looking for but a
real big time-saver.

You might also look at QuickUML for Linux from http://www.excelsoftware.com/
I've never used it, but I do use the QuickHelp for Linux package, very pleased with it.
