The tabbed interface has been refreshed to obtain a clearer separation between different modules of Workbench, while improving responsiveness when switching between tabs. The Query Formatter has been rewritten and is now faster and more robust on its handling of queries. The layout of the Administration module has been changed to allow for easier future expansion and use less vertical screen space. Parts that had problems managing MySQL 5.5 servers have been fixed along other total of 53 bugs or enhancement requests have been addressed.

About the Query-Formatter

In the Edit->Format menu of Workbench’s SQL Editor you will see a set of functions that assist in reformatting your SQL Queries, for example “Beautify Query”, “UPCASE Keywords”, etc.

New Workbench 5.2.29 Preference/Feature

Say you have been working on a model for hours in Workbench, and you haven’t saved in the last 90 minutes, suddenly the power goes out (or some other force majeure). Now with 5.2.29, if Workbench unexpectedly quits during modeling, the model you were working on will be restored to the last auto-saved version the next time you open that model.

As always, please remember to save and version your models regularly.

Also – you can change the value of Auto-Save Model Interval from its 5 minutes – go to Edit->Preferences and change within the General tab.

In addition to the new Query/SQL Development and Administration modules, version 5.2 features improved stability and performance – especially in Windows, where OpenGL support has been enhanced and the UI was optimized to offer better responsiveness.
