Hi List,

Has anyone tried MySQL Workbench on Mac OS X? I am using a MacBook  
Pro with 10.4.6. It looks like a pretty interesting tool to design  
the rails backend but I can’t even name a table before it crashes.

Thanks,

Gustavo

I’m having similar problems. Have not went as far as you. When I try to  
import a database, it just hangs forever.  
On virtual PC with windows XP, it simply crashes on startup.

Thanks,
