Reverse Engineer a Database

Reverse Engineer a Database

  1. Navigate to the Database tab
    Click on Reverse Engineer
  2. Select your Stored Connection which should be a Local instance, similar to the one below.
    Click Next
  3. Select the databases you want to reverse engineer
    Click Next, keep clicking Next until the end of the wizard

  4. Once the wizard is finished, close the MySQL Model* and EER Diagram tabs, and go back to the MySQL Local Server tab.
     ​
Note:

If no schemas are listed during the reverse engineering process, make sure:

  1. You’ve already imported a database into MySQL. Reverse engineering only works if there’s an existing schema.
  2. You’re using the correct credentials and have the necessary permissions to view the database.
  3. Reverse engineering is applied on a per-database basis, so only the databases available to your connection will appear here.
