MySQL Workbench vs. RazorSQL vs. SQLNotebook vs. TurboSQL Comparison Chart

MySQL Workbench is a unified visual tool for database architects, developers, and DBAs. MySQL Workbench provides data modeling, SQL development, and comprehensive administration tools for server configuration, user administration, backup, and much more. MySQL Workbench is available on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. MySQL Workbench enables a DBA, developer, or data architect to visually design, model, generate, and manage databases. It includes everything a data modeler needs for creating complex ER models, forward and reverse engineering, and also delivers key features for performing difficult change management and documentation tasks that normally require much time and effort. MySQL Workbench delivers visual tools for creating, executing, and optimizing SQL queries. The SQL Editor provides color syntax highlighting, auto-complete, reuse of SQL snippets, and execution history of SQL. The Database Connections Panel enables developers to easily manage standard database connections.

SQL Notebooks allow developers to write Markdown combined with SQL to produce live HTML5 reports. They offer a lightning-fast, modern HTML5 interface where data sources are queried in real time. Users can create beautiful, live-updating SQL notebooks, easily source control the code, and take static snapshots to share with colleagues who don't have database access. SQL Notebooks are available in both QStudio Version 4, a desktop SQL client based on editing markdown files locally, and Pulse Version 3, which serves as a shared team server accessible via a web address. To help users get started, a showcase of example notebooks has been created in collaboration with leading community members; these examples are snapshotted versions with static data, and the source markdown and most of the data to recreate them are available on GitHub.
