MySQL Workbench: Administration
MySQL Workbench integrates database administration tools into a simple to use graphical user interface. The visual console enables DBAs to easily perform operations such as configuring servers, administering users, export and import, and viewing logs.
Backup/Recovery
Easily create and manage online MySQL backups using the Workbench GUI for MySQL Enterprise Backup. Simple to setup, run, schedule, and view backups while in progress, this tool helps to quickly put proper backups in place. When its time to restore, the GUIs assesses the history - what, when, and where - and steps a DBAs through the recovery process.
Auditing
Easily enable MySQL Enterprise Audit and see who did what, when, where and how. Using built in filters and text search, DBAs can easily find suspect activity in your audit trails. MySQL Workbench provides a powerful grid view and enables DBAs to quickly page through data and sort across nine attributes such as user, ip, activity type, date and time.
User Administration
Administering users, granting privileges and viewing privilege information has never been easier. Using MySQL Workbench DBAs can visually add users, assign passwords and setup user profiles. Assigning and revoking global and database privileges is as easy as adding and removing privilege items from an available list.
