MySQL Workbench 6.2: New Migration Source and Sync Feature

MS Access Migration

MS Access support was added to the Migration Wizard in MySQL Workbench 6.2, joining MS SQL Server, Sybase ASE, Sybase SQL Anywhere, PostgreSQL, SQLite and “Generic ODBC” as migration sources. You can read more about it in How-To: Guide to Database Migration from MS Access using MySQL Workbench.

Include Model Scripts in Forward Engineering and Synchronization

Workbench modeling has always supported attaching SQL script files to the model, usually for documentation/organization purposes. You can now include these attachments to the output script when performing forward engineering or synchronization. Screenshot 2014-09-05 14.55.35

Resume data copy in Migration Wizard. If a data copy fails during database migration (because of a timeout or network failure, for example), you can now click Resume to retry the data copy. Workbench will find the last row that was copied successfully and try to restart the copy from that row.
