I've created an EER Model for a project and I have a couple diagrams inside the model.
My problem is that I have tables with the same name in all the diagrams and when I update one table, all with the same name suffer the same alterations.

How can I avoid this behavior and have a diagram independant from the others?

  • Do you say that you have several schemas each with a table that has the same name as in other schemas? Or is that you have just one schema with a table that you place on several diagrams? – Mike Lischke Feb 01 '14 at 10:12
  • I have just one schema with the same table (copy + paste) in other diagrams – CIRCLE Feb 02 '14 at 20:40

With MySQL Workbench it is possible to place the same table on more than one diagram. All these "instances" (we call them figures) represent the same db object. Hence changing that table it will appear changed on all diagrams. It's the same object after all.

  • thank you @Mike, so there's no way to create exceptions while updating tables in the same schema in one particular diagram? – CIRCLE Feb 03 '14 at 11:24
  • Not at the moment. You could file a feature request (http://bugs.mysql.com) so we can plan for that. – Mike Lischke Feb 03 '14 at 11:31
