Description:
Tried to Reverse Engineer a DB with Workbench, just to see if Workbench might be useful. Played around a little bit after some I saw some strange things.
I thought the following points were worth mentioning:
Reverse Engineering
- Connection Details
Driver: I can not select an ODBC-driver?
Connection: there are no saved (non-ODBC) connections from the other tools?
- Source Schemata
Advanced: no log-contents (if just an "error log" then maybe rename it so?)
- Schema Selection
Advanced: visible but not enabled
- Object Selection
Advanced: no log-contents (rename "error log"?)
- Reverse Engineering
Advanced: no log-contents (rename "error log"?)
- Object Selection (same name again?!)
Advanced: if previous page showed log, then page-size is large, but it shrinks on pressing Advance
On pressing "Back" on either page: no change of the title (on the title-panel), so it is hard to tell where you are (e.g. when reporting a problem)
On pressing "Back" on either page: it would be nice if the page 'rembered' to show Advanced on going back.
How to repeat:
- start MySql Workbench
- goto menu "Databases", select "Reverse engineering ..."
- try connections
- try Advanced and Back several times
Suggested fix:
- fix/extend connections
- fix Advanced and Back
- fix naming
