DB Designer -> MySQL workbench

I had a lot of good experience using fabforce's DB designer. Now that I upgraded to mySQL workbench, I have nothing but good things to say.

In 5 mins I was up and running after install. I took my mysqldump of my schema


mysqldump -d --no-add-drop-tables


Clicked File->Import->Reverse Engineer MySQL Script

Tada a picture of my schema.

Pictures are always nice to represent what your conveying to individuals who may not be as experienced with the db structure as yourself. Just for this feature alone I recommend using Work Bench.

    there is an alpha version for linux, I didn't work with this version, but the comments on the page says that's ok.
