I just tried the binary: mysql-workbench-1.0.5-beta-win32-noinstall.zip 1) installed as usual and started well. 2) reverse engineering an exsiting database went smoothly 3) PROB: The entity relationshps were drawn in backwards. My parent tables had the crow's feet pointed to them instead of the child tables. 4) I added a new 1:n relationshp using the 1:n tool. The connector between the two tables appeared. 5) I went to synchronize the change with the backend database. In watching the scripts as it was generated, the tool wanted to add two new columns and was linking to the wrong field on the parent table a) I tried to edit the link to point it to the correct parent field and child field for the FK but could not figure out how to change the properties of the link. b) I tried to delete the link from the map. Couldn't do that. c) I referred to the bundled help file. It has only two paged in it (understandable with a tool this new) d) I used the UI option to find the "online documentation". I was redirected to the manual for MySQL 5.1 and couldn't get a response to a search on the term "workbench". It's looking good so far but I am not even sure I would call this "beta" quality yet.
