Hi!
I’m wondering is there way to import a database from a existing model? WorkBench supports this reverse way? Thank you for any help!
Hello Andrew, Unfortunately this feature isn’t currently available in ORM Designer. We’re intensively working on a new ORM Designer2 which will be ready for a new features like this. For now please import your DB model using your framework (Doctrine/CakePHP) or using MySQL Workbench and than import it to ORM Designer.
