MySQL Workbench, the successor to DBDesigner 4 from FabForce, is a visual database design tool that integrates database design, modeling, creation and maintenance into a single, seamless environment for the MySQL database system. You can use it to design and create new database schemas, document existing databases and even perform complex migrations to MySQL.

It’s now a good week ago since our first Release Candidate numbered 5.0.15, and if you haven’t checked it out yet, now is a good time!
