Licensing and editions
MySQL Workbench is the first MySQL family of products that offer two different editions - an open source and a
commercial edition. [14] The "Community Edition" is a full featured product that is not crippled in any way. Being the
foundation for all other editions it will benefit from all future development efforts. The commercial "Standard
Edition" extends the Community Edition with a series of modules and plugins. [15]
As this business decision was announced soon after the takeover of MySQL by Sun Microsystems this caused
[16] [17]
speculation about the future licensing of the MySQL database in the press.
Community reception and reviews
Since its introduction MySQL Workbench has become popular within the MySQL community. Since 2010 it is now
the 2nd most downloaded product from the MySQL website with more than 250.000 downloads a month. [18] Before
that it was voted Database Tool of the Year 2009 on Developer.com. [19]
MySQL Workbench has been reviewed by the open source community and print magazines. [20] [21] [22] [23] While
some limitation of the Beta releases have been noted MySQL Workbench usage is generally recommended.
