My Webhoster only gives me the login-information for the specific database I created in their online administration-tool and not for the MySQL Server ifself.
Is it possible to connect MySQL workbench to this specific database?
Even when I put the name of the database in the "Default Schema:" input field, it doesn´t work.
To be clear, I use the same login-information as I connect to the database with php and there it works.

I created database using mysql from phpmyadmin for some practice purposes. Now I've just downloaded and set up mysql workbench and right after I saw my old database which I created in phpmyadmin and that makes me wonder how did workbench get it?
Both phpMyAdmin and MySQL Workbench are administration/client tools. It is used to connect MySQL Service running on your machine / remote machine called server. (usually on port 3306).
When you create databases or store data which is stored under a folder represented as datadir which is owned by the MySQL service.
how did workbench get it?
Database is managed by MySQL Service, like a phpMyAdmin, Workbench also another client, connecting to same MySQL Service.
Similarly, you can use any other MySQL Client to connect with the same MySQL service running on your machine.
Additionally, you can refer my blog to understand more about MySQL Architecture.
I'm using PhpStorm and am running a local WordPress Docker environment with persistent SQL database.
I can connect to my persistent SQL database using localhost fine.
Which I can the see all the tables in my local SQL WordPress database.
The problem I am having is getting my chosen table or tables into PhpMyadmin.
This is the context menu in PhpStorm when I right click on a database table.
Does anyone know how to do a direct replace like for selected tables.
For example I am just trying to replace wp_gf_form data with wm_gf_form data in PhpMyAdmin.
Any ideas would be great thanks.
I am trying to connect to a MySQL database that resides on an AWS server from within PHPMyAdmin, to be able to view its tables.
I have the connection strings (hostname, username, password), but I do not see where I would link or provide the AWS database parameters.
Ultimately what I would like to do with the tables is to use the data in my front-end userform that is created in MS Excel.
Here's what I am able to do successfully:
1. can create MySQL database (testdb)
2. can create a table (testtable) from PHPMyAdmin
3. Use the MySQL for Excel connection service to be able to connect to the testtable in the testdb and use the data in my Excel application.
The problem I am having is bringing or linking to the MySQL database on the AWS server to my testdb. I just want to be able to see a list of the AWS database tables in Phpmyadmin. Is that possible?
Yes, it is possible. You can edit config.inc.php file of phpmyadmin to add as many servers as you want
Here is the link with the guide

I have successfully migrated my mysql database file to an aws mysql instance using MySQL Workbench.
I now want to test that everything is migrated properly. When I connect to the db using MySQL Workbench and run an sql query such as
SELECT * FROM Users
I get an error saying that no database has been selected. I'm thinking that I'm actually only connected to the server and not the actual database. Is there a method to connect to the actual db and view all the tables on the server using MySQL Workbench or possibly another tool.
You never connect to a database. A database (aka schema) is just an organizational construct within a database server (aka RDBMS). So, first you connect to that server, to establish the communication. Then you select a schema to work with. Either run a USE command or, in MySQL Workbench, double click on a schema node in the schema tree on the left hand side to make this the current default. You can also set an initial default schema in the connection settings. The current (default) schema is shown in bold in the tree:
Figured it out.
There is a small expand button in the navigator panel on the left which can be expanded and I can view all my tables, columns etc...
I'm using mysql workbench to try and migrate from 1 mysql database on my VPS to another on my DS; However the database names are different and I cannot change the database names due to restrictions.
When trying to migrate from the VPS to the DS I get an error because the two database names are different.
Is it possible in mysql workbench to set this up correctly as I can't seem to find it.
Yes, you can do it in manual editing step. From view combobox select All Objects, then double click on target schema name and rename it.
