Description:
The modeling and synchronization features of MySQL Workbench are great. The issue is the process to sync a model with a database is extremely drawn out and tedious. It is an unnecessary 7 step process to sync a model with a database.
When working to develop a schema and in early project stages, I have found it necessary to sync between the model and a database many many times. It would be great to have a one click button to sync model changes to a database, using some saved settings that is already stored. In most scenarios, users will always be syncing with the same database, so the 7 step process is repeated and unnecessary. This would be a huge time saver and make the process much easier and more manageable.
A 'Keep-Synced' option to automatically sync model changes with a database would also be a great option while a database is in development, as many times updates will be done in the model and would be beneficial for the development database to automatically be updated.
