MySQL Workbench is a powerful tool designed for creating entity-relationship diagrams for MySQL databases. Whether you're designing a new database layout, documenting an existing one, or managing a complex migration, this application has you covered. It visually represents database tables, views, stored processes, and foreign keys, making it easier to understand and manage your database structure. Additionally, MySQL Workbench can synchronize your development model with the actual database and generate the necessary scripts to create the database from your design. Compatible with DBDesigner 4 models and supporting new features in MySQL 5, MySQL Workbench is an essential tool for database administrators and developers.
My experience with MySQL Workbench has been fair. I like the data modeling capabilities, although some advanced features can be confusing. It works, but it sometimes leaves me wanting for simplicity.
