Where is a database shape in Visio?
Solution 1:
I think the user was asking about finding a database stencil, rather than looking to generate a Visio document for an existing database.
If that is correct, I believe the desired shape can be found under:
File -> Shapes -> Flowchart -> Miscellaneous Flowchart Shapes

P.S. Sorry for posting to an old thread, but Google brought me here with a similar question and, once I found the answer, I thought I would share.
Solution 2:
Which version do you have? Because it's not included in all version.
Standard : This edition does not include the Database Model Diagram template.
Professional: This edition supports the reverse engineering features for the Database Model Diagram template (that is, using an existing database to create a model in Visio) but does not support forward engineering (that is, using a Visio database model to generate SQL code).
Enterprise Architect: This edition, which is included in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Enterprise Architect, supports the full suite of database modeling features, including both reverse engineering and forward engineering.
