MySQL Workbench
Efficiently design, manage and document database schemata.
MySQL Workbench overview
MySQL Workbench is a next-generation visual database design application that can be used to efficiently design, manage and document database schemata.
Design
MySQL Workbench enables a DBA, developer, or data architect to visually design, model, generate, and manage databases. It includes everything a data modeler needs for creating complex ER models, forward and reverse engineering, and also delivers key features for performing difficult change management and documentation tasks that normally require much time and effort.
Develop
MySQL Workbench delivers visual tools for creating, executing, and optimizing SQL queries. The SQL Editor provides color syntax highlighting, auto-complete, reuse of SQL snippets, and execution history of SQL. The Database Connections Panel enables developers to easily manage standard database connections, including MySQL Fabric. The Object Browser provides instant access to database schema and objects.
Administer
MySQL Workbench provides a visual console to easily administer MySQL environments and gain better visibility into databases. Developers and DBAs can use the visual tools for configuring servers, administering users, performing backup and recovery, inspecting audit data, and viewing database health.
Visual Performance Dashboard
MySQL Workbench provides a suite of tools to improve the performance of MySQL applications. DBAs can quickly view key performance indicators using the Performance Dashboard. Performance Reports provide easy identification and access to IO hotspots, high cost SQL statements, and more. Plus, with 1 click, developers can see where to optimize their query with the improved and easy to use Visual Explain Plan.
Database Migration
MySQL Workbench now provides a complete, easy to use solution for migrating Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Sybase ASE, PostreSQL, and other RDBMS tables, objects and data to MySQL. Developers and DBAs can quickly and easily convert existing applications to run on MySQL both on Windows and other platforms. Migration also supports migrating from earlier versions of MySQL to the latest releases.
It is available as both open source and commercial editions. The Community (OSS) Edition is available from this page under the free software/open source GNU General Public License (commonly known as the "GPL").
What’s new in version 8.0.28.CE
Updated on Jan 19 2022
Functionality:
- All editions of MySQL Workbench and the bundled libraries were upgraded to use libssh 0.9.6.
- MySQL Workbench now supports the following platform versions: macOS 12, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2022.
Bugs fixed:
- Before MySQL Workbench 8.0.27, a connection using SSL attempted to establish an encrypted connection by default if the server supported encrypted connections or to fall back to an unencrypted connection if an encrypted connection could not be established. The default behavior was changed in version 8.0.27 to always require SSL encryption, which could cause a connection test to fail if the server did not support encryption. In addition, the settable values for the Use SSL field no longer included No or If available.
- This fix restores the previous default behavior (If available) and also restores the full set of Use SSL values for establishing encrypted and unencrypted connections.
