Compare database schema with MySQL workbench

Question

I am using MySQL Workbench on my Windows 7 PC, and have a saved database model.

I am running MySQL on a Linux server.

Using MySQL Workbench's "Manage DB Connections", I am able to connect to MySQL running on the Linux server.

Using MySQL Workbench Community Edition, can I compare the MySQL Workbench model schema to the MySQL database schema running on the Linux server? If so, how?

If I understand you correctly what you want is to reverse engineer a live database. Here's the manual entry on how to do it in mysql workbench.
