"Convenient tool for data extraction"
What do you like best about Mysql workbench?
I like the intuitive interface and the ability to process large volumes of data. Also, I like that the tool is free but does everything which more expensive tools would do. The training curve was very short. Basically, if you ever worked with a database you would be able to start with Workbench in a matter of minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Mysql workbench?
I did not like the installation process. I made several mistakes; installation took 2 days!
I also dislike the fact that the tool is crushing. If I don't save my work quite often, I have to repeat all steps over again.
I imported a large volume of data from FDA site. Yes, I understand that I have to complain to the source - but the data sets had errors. Import just crushes along with the tool and it does not say why and where. I had to manually sift through millions of records using other tools to be able to delete bad records. It would be nice if the data cleanup facility be incorporated into the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
