Subject: ANNC: MySQL Workbench 1.0.5 beta released
MySQL Workbench 1.0.5 beta has been released.
MySQL Workbench is a database design tool for MySQL.
MySQL objects such as tables, routines and views can be created and
edited and
their visual representation on the canvas enables one to
quickly understand and work efficiently with complex and simple database
schemas.
Feature highlights:
- Reverse engineering of existing MySQL databases
- Import DBDesigner4 models
- Synchronize edited model with MySQL database
- Generate SQL create script file
- Printing (Windows)
- Powrefull scripting and plugin interface. Plugins can be written in
several
languages, such as Lua, PHP, Java and Python.
- Fast, OpenGL based graphical canvas
- Quickly accessible Overview mode, which zooms out the whole canvas
to
reveal a more general view.
An OpenGL capable video card with at least 32MB of memory is needed to
use
MySQL Workbench.

Subject: mysql workbench and download?
Hi
where can I download mysql workbench ? The links on the mysql forum dont
work ... and i cant seem to find another download ... probably not see
the
wood for the treats ..
Thanks
It's good that it's not posted on the site yet. 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.
