Description:
First of all, just downloaded and started using MySQL Workbench. This is a GREAT tool! Here is an Enhancement Suggestion:

(1) Under the Database/Forward Engineer tool bar option (and elsewhere where useful), it would be of great benefit to create an option for "Generate (a commented) example of INSERT/UPDATE to Table and Fields".

This would add, as a commented section in the generated SQL file, the syntax and structure for both INSERT and/or UPDATE for inserting/updating data as appropriate.  It need not be specific, as each case may be different upon user's situation, but provides a basic and correct example of each method for beginners as well as for the adept.

I offer this enhancement suggestion because... I am a novice of sorts and would find this added feature of significant value.

Yours Truly,

Chris Lemke

Please take a look at our current in-development version, which has a feature like that in SQL development section (not in modeling part though). in Workbench 5.2 you can connect to your database, and right-click a table object will list you the option to copy tablename, columns, select-, insert-, delete-, update-, create- and show-column-info-statements either to the clipboard or to the current query-text-field.
would you still prefer to have this option for model-objects as well?
