MySQL Workbench: How to detach reverse-engineered EER diagram from existing database? MySQL Workbench provides the option to 'Create EER Model From Existing Database'. Trying to remove a table from the resulting diagram leads to a dialog asking:


  Should corresponding database objects be deleted with the figures?


As the database must be left untouched in any case, my question is now: How to safely detach the EER model / diagram from the underlying database?
It looks like the table is deleted in the "model" only. The original database is not harmed. One also can filter tables via the reengineering wizard in advance.
