MySQL Workbench is unstable and the interface is also not very good. If someone thought that Oracle would improve the situation, well... wrong.

The best tool to create and manage MySQL databases of medium or small size!

Very easy to export ER Diagram to SQL Query

MySQL Workbench is one of the most unstable applications I have ever used. It hangs or crashes 5-10 times per day.

Pro:

  • It is for free.

  • Build in ERD tool.

  • Some nice extra features.

Cons:

  • It separates the design/data and the administration works so it trends to be less friendly than other tools.

  • The interface is tricky at best. Sometimes the interface stop working, the buttons simply do nothing, windows that refuse to work or to close and such.

  • Uses a lot more resource. Example (Windows 64 bits): MYSQLWORKBENCH32.EXE 132MB versus SQLYOG.EXE 32MB

Awesome! Amazing tool! Allows you to develop ERD's and then those ERD's can be translated into SQL and dropped into a db somewhere! Very cool! Love this tool :)!
