Is there an upper limit on model size in Mysql workbench?

Question

I get the following error when trying to open my mwb model file

error unserializing grt data 
string to long

My file is 217 KB and I am using version 6.3.4.0 build 828 for 64 bit windows community edition

Last thing I did before saving it was adding some tables. Did not add any long names, comments or anything like that

The model file has 100++ tables and 10+ diagrams showing these.

Is this a bug, corrupt model file or is there a upper limit on the size of models ?

Answer 1

I faced the same problem, Just close and open it, it will be solved, This bug is in several versions

Answer 2

I had just run into this error, recently...To solve this problem, do the following:

1) Close out the program.

2) Locate and Open the MySQL Work Bench (.mwf) file with MySQL Workbench.

I learned this from my professor, and while it seems like a bit much, that's how I got my Database Table Schema to display properly again.

To be honest, this clearly must be a bug in the programming software; Might I suggest downgrading your product to one that doesn't have this bug in it, if this bothers you too much?
