The *.mwb file

The *.mwb file

MySQL Workbench is a visual tool for database design by MySQL/Oracle which creates *.mwb files.

*.mwb files are *.zip files with another file extension so that you can easily (rename and) unzip them.

Unzipped file structure:

|
|-- my_mwb.zip
|   |-- @db
|   |   |-- ...
|   |
|   |-- @images
|   |   |-- ...
|   |
|   |-- @sqlscripts
|   |   |-- ...
|   |
|   |-- document.mwb.xml
|

The important file is document.mwb.xml because it includes a XML structured represantation of the database scheme. See here for an explanation of the XML structure.
