What types of database can be modelled with MySQL Workbench?

What type of databases are supported by MySQL Workbench for data modelling (including forward engineering)?

For example, can I model and forward engineer to any of:

Oracle
SQL Server
PostgreSQL
Aurora

You can use any modeling tool to generate logical models for anything.

I've note seen where it can generate pluggable DDL for any other database than MySQL. Then again, I've only ever used it to create MySQL databases so never had the need to look.

The docs don't mention anything about other database options:
