Sun Microsystems Introduces MySQL Workbench
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Business Wire EON) April 16, 2008 -- MySQL Workbench is available for download in two versions: an open source Community Edition and a (US) $99 commercial Standard Edition. Both are available now for Microsoft Windows, with future cross-platform support for Linux and Macintosh OS X under development.
The announcement was made this morning at the sixth annual MySQL Conference and Expo. With nearly 2,000 attendees, it is the world's largest community event for open source database developers, users, DBAs, vendors and corporate IT managers.
"We are very happy to deliver a powerful open source database design tool for the MySQL ecosystem," said Michael G. Zinner, Sun's team lead for database developer tools and the original developer of the popular DBDesigner4 open source software project. "The two editions are designed to meet the needs of the do-it-yourself community developer, while providing a very affordable and compelling commercial product for the corporate database professional."
The MySQL Workbench Community Edition is freely available for download under the open source GPL license at dev.mysql.com/workbench. This full-featured tool provides a base framework for data modeling and physical database design.
The MySQL Workbench Standard Edition is a commercial extension to the community edition that adds specialized plug-in modules that can boost productivity and save time. These include reverse- and forward-engineering capabilities, synchronization to and from live databases, HTML and text-based documentation, built-in validation of models and security management for modeled objects. At the MySQL Online Shop (http://shop.mysql.com), users can purchase a (US) $99 subscription for a perpetual single-seat license and software updates for a full year.
As a special introductory promotion, customers who purchase or renew MySQL Enterprise(TM) silver, gold and platinum level subscriptions by June 30, will receive a complimentary one-year subscription for MySQL Workbench Standard Edition*.
More information and a feature comparison chart is at www.mysql.com/workbench. Volume license discounts for multiple seats are also available for purchase.
MySQL Workbench Improves Productivity for Users
"MySQL Workbench SE has allowed our team to improve productivity and
deliver products on time and within budget. The tool is very
intuitive and we find our new staff can ramp up quickly. This tool
has significantly reduced the task-time of our data modeling, leaving
more time to concentrate on quality. It also helps eliminate defects
early in our development phase."
Jamie Schultz, vice president of Operations
B Three Solutions, Inc.
"We've looked at many applications to manage database development, and
MySQL Workbench is the best. It's an amazingly powerful database
management front-end that's also easy to learn. I use it exclusively
now for most data design tasks -- from advanced data modeling to
general database administration. I recommend it."
Kevin Haas
OpenBI, LLC
"MySQL Workbench SE is a powerful visual design tool. I have tried
other modeling tools, but the learning curve was too steep. With
Workbench, I was up-and-running within minutes. From now on, MySQL
Workbench will be an integral part of my development toolkit."
David Alsbury, CEO/President
Alsbury Media Group

How To Use MySQL In A Hosting Environment
MySQL is a heavy-duty database server. Used with various software languages, most notably PHP, and part of the LAMP family (which is comprised of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP), Whether it's a customer relations management list or medical records, any data you have that needs storing, is stored on a database. You will need a database management system to add, access, edit, and process data in your databases, and MySQL is one of the best and most comprehensive packages on the market. MySQL can also be used as a relational database management system, which means it can store data in various tables that can communicate with one another rather than all in one large "storeroom" of data.
