MySQL Workbench is a tool that can model the entity-relationship diagram of a MySQL database. You can use it to design new database schemas, document existing schemas, and perform complex migrations.

The application builds a visual representation of database tables, views, stored procedures, and foreign keys. In addition, the model under development can be synchronized with the actual database.

MySQL Workbench can also generate the scripts needed to create the database drawn in the schematic. This adds the support provided by the DBDesigner 4 database model and allows you to migrate to previous versions of MySQL. In addition, this utility supports migration from Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Sybase ASE, or PostreSQL.
