there is a feature, that would be very helpful for database migration, the migration of comments on table and columns. 

Now the migration generates all table information, but without the comments. As mentioned before, we are working with really huge databases (> 500 tables, no database schema design, no foreign keys), so, the migration of this information is very, very helpful. After migration of the schema, we will use DBDesigner resp. MySQL Workbench, to rework the schema with all relationships.

Many thanks for writing a bug report. We are on the way to implement full functionality of MySQL Migration Tool into MySQL Workbench. We won't add this feature request anymore.
