Two Ways MySQL Workbench Can Draw an ERD

A. Reverse Engineer (from an existing database)

Menu:
Database → Reverse Engineer
Workbench connects to your DB, reads all schema metadata, and draws the ERD automatically.

B. Create a Model Manually (forward engineer)

Menu:
File → New Model
You create tables visually, and Workbench generates SQL from your ERD.

NB!

Make sure that all primary and foreign keys are identified, because the diagram will be drawn based of primary and foreign key definitions.

Delete vs Truncate in MySQL and MS SQL Server

-
Delete vs Truncate in MySQL and MS SQL Server DELETE DELETE is a DML command. The DELETE statement is executed using a row lock; each row in the table is locked for deletion. We can specify filters in where clause It deletes specified data if a "where" condition exists. Delete activates a trigger because the operations are logged individually. Slower than truncate because it keeps logs. Rollback is possible. TRUNCATE TRUNCATE is a DDL command. TRUNCATE TABLE always locks the table and page but not each row. Cannot use the WHERE condition. It removes all the data. TRUNCATE TABLE cannot activate a trigger because the operation does not log individual row deletions. Faster performance-wise, because it doesn't keep any logs. Rollback is possible. DELETE and TRUNCATE both can be rolled back when used with TRANSACTION (TRUNCATE can be rolled back in SQL Server, but not in MySQL ). if there is a PK with auto increment, truncate will reset the counter Learn SQL with us at PCWorks...

  What Is SQLite? SQLite is a C-language library designed to implement a compact, high-speed, self-contained, and robust SQL database engine . It stands as the most widely employed database engine globally, integral to the operating systems of virtually all mobile phones and the majority of computers. Additionally, it is packaged within numerous everyday applications. The SQLite file format boasts stability, cross-platform compatibility, and backward compatibility. Developers commit to maintaining this stability until the year 2050. SQLite database files serve as prevalent containers for the exchange of rich content across systems and as a long-term archival format for data . The active usage of SQLite databases exceeds a staggering 1 trillion (1e12) instances [5]. It is noteworthy that the SQLite source code is in the public domain, making it freely accessible for use by anyone, without restrictions on purpose. Learn SQLite with us at PCWorkshops.     ...
