Dear MySQL Users,
The MySQL developer tools team announces 6.2.2 RC – the final release
candidate for MySQL Workbench 6.2.
MySQL Workbench 6.2 is the upcoming major update for the official MySQL
graphical development tool .
MySQL Workbench 6.2 focuses on support for innovations released in MySQL
5.6 and MySQL 5.7 DMR (Development Release) as well as MySQL Fabric 1.5,
with features such as:
- A new spatial data viewer, allowing graphical views of result sets
containing GEOMETRY data and taking advantage of the new GIS
capabilities in MySQL 5.7. - Support for new MySQL 5.7.4 SQL syntax and configuration options.
- Metadata Locks View shows the locks connections are blocked or waiting
on. - MySQL Fabric cluster connectivity – Browsing, view status, and connect
to any MySQL instance in a Fabric Cluster. - MS Access migration Wizard – easily move to MySQL Databases.
Other significant usability improvements were made, aiming to raise
productivity for advanced and new users:
- Direct shortcut buttons to commonly used features in the schema tree.
- Improved results handling. Columns have better auto-sizing and their
widths are saved. Fonts can also be customized. Results “pinned” to
persist viewing data. - A convenient Run SQL Script command to directly execute SQL scripts,
without loading them first. - Database Modeling has been updated to allow changes to the formatting
of note objects and attached SQL scripts can now be included in forward
engineering and synchronization scripts. - Integrated Visual Explain within the result set panel.
- Visual Explain drill down for large to very large explain plans.
- Shared SQL snippets in the SQL Editor, allowing multiple users to
share SQL code by storing it within a MySQL instance. - And much more.
