Solution 3 - Mysql
- Migrate your DB "simply make sure the tables and columns exist".
- Recommended to delete all your data (this freezes MySQL Workbench on my MAC everytime due to "software out of memory..")
- Open MySQL Workbench
- click + to make MySQL connection
- enter credentials and connect
- go to database tab
- click reverse engineer
- follow the wizard Next > Next ….
- DONE :)
- now you can click the arrange tab then choose auto-layout (keep clicking it until you are satisfied with the result)
