Thanks for the tips!

Sheeri,

According to the features link, you can reverse engineer from SQL scripts but not from a live database.

Matthew had a great tip to deal with that and the printing issue.

Thanks,

Reverse engineering is possible with MySQL Workbench, it just requires an extra step – export the database structure to an SQL file, then import.

Likewise, you can print schemas from it – export to PDF, then print.

I’m told the reason for this is that the lead dev on the project doesn’t like forcing people to pay for features, so all paid features are shortcuts which you can do with more steps in the free version – no idea how true that is though!

I did notice that it hadn’t been updated in a long time. Still a nice tool though. Bummer that no one is working on dbdesigner.
