GaussDB vs. HeidiSQL vs. MySQL Workbench vs. PostgreSQL Data Access Components Comparison Chart

GaussDB (for MySQL) is a next generation MySQL-compatible, enterprise-class distributed database service. It uses a decoupled compute and storage architecture and data functions virtualization (DFV) storage that auto-scales up to 128 TB per DB instance. There is virtually no risk of data loss. It supports millions of QPS throughputs and cross-AZ deployment, combining the performance and reliability of commercial databases with the flexibility of open source databases. By decoupling compute and storage, connecting them through RDMA, and using a "log as database" architecture, you can get seven times the performance of open-source databases. To scale read capacity and performance, you can add up to 15 read replicas for a primary node within minutes. GaussDB(for MySQL) is fully compatible with MySQL. You can easily migrate your MySQL databases to GaussDB(for MySQL) without reconstructing existing applications and without sharding.

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.
