Hello, people, I'd appreciate it if you could assist me with this problem. I'm using workbench and mysql, and I have a few schemata (databases) in my sql. However, when I log in using Mysql Query Browser, it doesn't show my schemata (databases), but it does when I use workbench.
MySQL Query Browser was the first visual DB query tool from MySQL. Since a decade or so it has been replaced by MySQL Workbench and does not support servers beyond 4.x (IIRC).

I have a problem with MySQL Workbench. I cannot add or edit users on the database. Since I can make changes via queries I believe it's not MySQL server related but limited to Workbench. I upgraded to the latest version but still the same. Anyone experienced something similar?
I am trying to see the visual explain plan of my query in mysql workbench. But when I click on execution plan it shows tabular plan in default when I change the plan to Visual Plan; nothing happens and it keeps on displaying tabular plan.
I have mySQL 10 and Workbench 8.0.18.
I have surfed internet alot but found only one solution to upgrade mysql and workbench. I did but still same issue..
Can anyone suggest what is the reason behind that?
Thank you for the support, I have resolved the problem now. I was having MySQL Server 5.5 which does not support json. Thats why, Visual Explain plan was not available. Now Upgrading to 8.0 version worked things out for me..
You have to download a mysql installer and execute, and click on 'Add' and select mysql version from there. Afterwards, it will ask for configurations and you will be able to access that version in workbench after installation.
Thanks alot..
I've searched substantially but I was unable to find a consistent answer for the following question: What are the core differences between "MySQL Workench/J" and "SQL WorkBench"? The only difference I've really found was that MySQL WorkBench is owned by Oracle.
Sorry if this is an inappropriate question.
Thanks.
SQL Workbench/J has no relation whatsoever with MySQL Workbench.
SQL Workbench/J is DBMS independent SQL tool that works across a wide range of database products, not only MySQL. It's an open source project without any ties to Oracle.
The name SQL Workbench/J was chosen back in 2002 long before an Oracle product with the name MySQL Workbench existed - back then only DbDesigner existed which was later forked into MySQL Workbench.
Probably the biggest difference is that SQL Workbench/J is a tool run SQL queries, whily MySQL Workbench is more of a ER modelling tool that over the years incorporated query capabilities as well.
I am totally new to databases. I would like to create a database; I am going to make a small project which is going to use DB. I am going to use Maria DB as it is totally free for commercial use.
The question is: Can I use MySQL workbench program to create a database and then transform/change it to MariaDB?
From my experience -- Sure, you can use MySQL Workbench with MariaDB.
However, I have tried basic functionalities only, like queries, schema design etc. Not sure about compatibility of advanced features.
So my experiences are, yes you can use MySQL Workbench for MariaDB database designs.
However I needed to change the "Default Target MySQL Version" to 5.7.
This can be done by going to: Edit->Preferences in the menu. And finally to Modeling->MySQL.
Since the latest MySQL version, v8.x, the SQL statements are not compatible with MariaDB statements (like creating an index). MariabDB creating an index on a table:
INDEX `fk_rsg_sub_level_rsg_top_level1_idx` (`rgs_top_level_id` ASC)
vs
MySQL:
INDEX `fk_rsg_sub_level_rsg_top_level1_idx` (`rgs_top_level_id` ASC) VISIBLE
MariaDB can't handle this VISIBLE keyword in this example. Using an old MySQL Version, MySQL Workbench will forward engineer a compatible MariaDB SQL file.
Currently (Oct 2019) the generated SQL_MODE output is still compatible with MariaDB. Just like InnoDB, which is also preferred when using MariaDB in most cases.
Just to list a few other options:
MySQL Workbench
Heidi Sql
SQLyog
No.
The latest version of Workbench 8.0 is not supported in MySQL.
Yes, although connecting to view existing database on a remote MariaDB server will crash the current client (6.3.10). I use it mainly to deploy database models and that works fine, even on remote servers.
I just deployed to a MariaDB 10.3 server with that client and it worked fine, see screenshot.
I've instaled MySQL workbench in Windows 7 64bit. Unfortunately, I'm facing problems:
In the Object Browser, when I click on my DB and right click on tables to create one, I can not insert any column (disabled) and therefore, can not insert tables. check this:
Can not create table in MySQL workbench 5.2.40
I can create table from the EER model. But even though, I faced problems when tried to connect my Java application to this database.
MySQL and Java: table doesn't exist
I have searched, and not sure from this, some of what I found is that workbench have probelms with Windows 7 - 64 bit (any idea if this is correct??). The only version I found was for 68, it installed successfully but I'm having probems.
I want to downlod MySQL server but before that: Will Mysql Server give me the same features that the workbench does? I need to work with GUI (insert, delete, update,..etc).
EDIT:
Also, the table I added using the EER are not visible in the Object browser. I only can see the schema in the Object browser without any table underneath it.
MySQL Workbench is a MySQL Server GUI. The two are different products. MySQL Workbench requires a MySQL Server connection for most tasks (except for data modeling). This reliance on a MySQL connection is clearer in the latest version of MySQL Workbench (6.1) than it was in 5.2.
MySql Workbench and MySql Server both are completely different things. MySql Server is basically a database and MySql workbench is a GUI or graphical management tool which helps us interact with MySql server database.
Similarly, SQL Server Management Studio is the graphical management tool for SQL Server.
Both are for manipulate the structure, queries and function, procedure, etc....
In Both you can Use DML and DDL
If you ask me I love Server even if you can create really cool designs on workbench, but basically you can do the same in both (insert, delete, update,..etc and more)
So it's up to you, I think MySQL server is a little bit lighter that Workbench, but if you want to, try it both.
Workbench looks like more friendly
