DbSchema vs. MySQL Workbench

Well suited to a team working directly in the physical modeling space.

It is good software when we have to connect the database of the remote server but it is not as good as phpMyAdmin. When local server is concerned, phpMyAdmin is way better because it has more cleaner UI than Workbench. Workbench is preferred only because phpMyAdmin does not support the connection of remote servers.

• Many database platforms supported
• Direct database integration - option to have model actions reflected immediately in database.
• Test data generation with Groovy scripting for control over specific profiles

Incentivized

• Readily available too for quick and easy SQL queries
• Maintains upgrades
• Works across multiple OS platforms

Incentivized

• Logical data model integration is weak. Need way to update existing models with changes
• Conceptual data modeling is missing

• There are a lot of menus, some of them aren't needed or users who only need to send queries. I had to watch a videos on youtube to learn how to use workbench. It would be great to have some videos inside software (or links to videos on youtube)

DbSchema does a number of things very well, but is not as full featured as many customers will want

MySQL Workbench is useful for specifically remote databases. Remote databases generally does not have any UI and we have to connect the server via SSH and on CLI, we write the queries and it shows the data, which is quite tiering and more prone to make mistakes whereas MySQL Workbench provides cleaner way to connect and provides lot of tools, so that we do not have to write queries all the time.

Some of the other Tools are no longer supported, and DbSchema is much less expensive than most of them.

It's like comparing a VW to an performance car like a Ferrari. If you need the performance, bells and whistles you'll want PhpStorm. If you just need to get from one place to another, MySQL Workbench will do just fine.

• DbSchema is very inexpensive, and functional, so easy to get a team started

Incentivized

• It provides good features and saves the time.
• When we use remote server, we can connect without using ssh etc. so saves the time and easy to understand.
• Do not have to write the queries to check the schema, so saves the time.
