Re: Workbench runs out of memory when creating a model

[Michael G. Zinner]

Hi,

when you perform the reverse engineering process, please try to leave the automatic creation of the diagram out for now and check if the OutOfMemory error still is thrown. Also, could you state the amount of RAM your machine has?

mydb is the schema that is available in MySQL Workbench at a fresh start.

When you successfully reverse engineer a schema the default (and empty) "mydb" schema should be removed. You should get a new entry in the schema list that corresponds to your actual schema name. (I guess that is also a side effect of the OutOfMemory issue).


Please note that you can manage a model consisting of several schemata. These schemata are listed on the schema tab sheet control. And you should not see your tables in the mydb schema tab, but only on the 2nd tab that is named after your schema.

When using the sync feature, it assumes your schema is named "mydb" which is a problem, because there is no real "mydb" schema in the live database. That is the reason you get the !mydb -> !N/A display.

So again, I think this is all related to the OutOfMemory issue. Once we manage to get rid of this, everything should work as expected.
