Generating UML Entity-Relationship Diagrams in LaTeX

Question

Would you recommend LaTeX for this kind of UML diagramming?

http://yuml.me/ is great for quickly drawing Use Case and Class diagrams.

Please recommend a library of some sort for LaTeX, or alternatively a non-LaTeX text-generated UML-diagramming tool which support Entity-Relationship Modelling.
