MySQL Enterprise Adds Backup and Workbench Tools

Oracle recently updated its MySQL 5.5 Enterprise Edition subscription service. The update adds new tools for design, development, administration, and backup, as well as enhancements to existing tools.

This update adds MySQL Enterprise Backup and MySQL Workbench to MySQL Enterprise Edition. My SQL Enterprise Backup enables full, incremental, or partial "hot" online backups of MySQL databases. It also supports point-in-time recovery and backup compression. MySQL Workbench provides data modeling, SQL development tools, and comprehensive administration tools.

This update also includes enhancements to MySQL Enterprise Monitor. It introduces new rules and graphs, including new MySQL, InnoDB, and operating system-specific graphs that improve visual monitoring of key systems for real-time and historical trending purposes.
