How to edit an existing and working Schema in MySQL Workbench?

Question

Is it possible to continue or extend an existing schema with MySQL Workbench? This is the scenery: 1) We design our DB in MySQL Workbench 2) We export it as SQL file and execute it in our MySQL Server 3) We insert a lot of data and use our DB 4) We want to add more tables, fields, or anything to our Schema

The 4 step is my dude, can we edit our scheme in MySQL Workbench if our DB is working and with data?

Answer 1

Use file->import and select an sql file, which you can export via phpMyAdmin.

Answer 2

yes, you can sync your database with workbench model. the sync works both ways so you can update the model from the database, or update the database from the model.
