mos,
I'm looking for a free, perhaps open source, case tool for MySQL 5.x. (Older MySQL 4.0 case tools may not work because of the changes to pw security in 4.1 and later)

I tried MySQL Workbench 1.1.5 alpha but I keep getting errors "The following error occurred while launching the object editor. Error reading RoutineUce.MaxRightChar:Property MaxRightChar does not exist". It is still in alpha so I guess bugs are to be expected.

So is there anything else out there that you'd recommend? I don't need something with a lot of bells and whistles. I'm primarily looking for something that can reverse engineer a database, create a diagram of it, make some changes, and update the database with the changes.
http://fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/ ...is pretty funky and meets the requirements.

Phil,
FabForce doesn't work with MySQL 5 because of the new password encryption. Fabforce never lets me connect to a database. I suppose I could revert back to the old PW mgt scheme but that may weaken the security.

I'm getting all sorts of errors in WorkBench Windows like

java.lang.NullPointerException when trying to reverse engineer a database, then if I continue the Finalization process just runs forever (it appears the animated dolphin is swimming all the way from Australia to New York) when it says "Removing schema test".

I am also getting errors when just dropping an empty table onto the main view. So far I'm not that impressed with Workbench and haven't gotten so much as one table defined. :(

Are there any other free case tools out there?

Mike
