Currently I have a project in VB.NET that has a feature of backing up and restoring mysql dumps using the Mysqldump found in my bin directory of mysql workbench
I am hosting my server online and i still need that function in my application.
But to do that, the client PC should install mysql workbench first to use that feature.
Is there any workaround with this? Still use the feature without installing MySql Workbench in the client PC? Like copying the whole BIN folder of MySql, is that even possible?

How do I install MySQL Workbench properly? Can't connect to the SQLTools extension in VSCode.I'm new to the database scene, and can't seem to grasp how to create a successful SQL server that I can use to manipulate data. But nothing I'm doing seems to work.
Should I use Gitbash to access the terminal? I tried using my password to make a new query but it wouldn't work on the workbench. I don't know how to start the SQL server in addition to not knowing how to properly change the profile for the Workbench from a previous account. A new developer, such as myself, would appreciate any insight!
So that's really simple just install the mysql community server installer using this link https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
Make sure to select the server only in the setup during installation if you are going to be using VS code as the client to manipulate sql queries
Then once that is done copy the bin path location from the mysql file directory (which is usually in the program files on your \C: drive on your computer) to the environment variables on your computer so that you can access mysql from the command line
Once that is done you can initialise a database from the normal command line but first type mysql -u root -p to start mysql in the command line
Then download the sql tools extension on vs code and create the database that wish
I would like to know How to restore MYSQL database after installing a different version of Wampserver. The explanation is as below:
I deleted the wampserver folder accidentally and I lost my MYSQL database. However, I have succeeded to restore the data folder that contains the database and I have installed another version of Wampserver (Actually, the old version of MYSQL that I was using was 5.5.8 , and the MYSQL version that I am using right now is 5.6.17) and I have tried to restore the database by copying its folder and putting it and the old ibdata1 file under the data folder of the new installation. But, unfortenately, that doesn't work.
So, my questions are:
Is it possible to restore MYSQL database after installing a different version of Wampserver (with a different version of MYSQL)?
If yes, how can I do that? What would be the solution?
In the past when this has happened to me, the only option that worked was to reinstall an older version of WAMP (i.e. MySQL) to match what my databases were created in originally.
If you install the same WAMP again, copying the folder should work now.
If you can gain access to your databases at this point, then you can do a proper backup of them using phpmyadmin or mysqldump etc.
After you get a proper backup, remove the older WAMP version and install the latest version again. Now you have to restore the databases using the backup files in order to put them into the newer MySQL version.
If you backed up your database you can restore it using your backup file. If you are using a graphical interface for mysql like PHPMyAdmin there is a import button you can use to import your .sql, .csv, .zip, or what ever extension you used to backup your database.
I do not use the Shell interface.
I have my own shared Linux server at SoftLayer with WHM and CPanel for my two joomla website installations.
I would like to start migrating populated tables from the old site to the new one.
BUT I don't know how to use shell access, and I prefer a graphical interface anyway.
I am working on installed extensions one at a time.
I saw a mention about MySQL Workbench 6.0.7
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/tools/workbench/
but am unsure of it's operation on my server.
Any insight on making this task easier or more foolproof would be appreciated.
Export your tables from PHPMyAdmin on your cpanel, then import them to your new server via PHPMyAdmin too.
I have a mySQL database on my Windows PC. I'm pretty sure I've found the relevant files, namely the following:
formula.frm
formula.ibd
db.opt
What is the natural way to inspect, edit, and generally play with the contents of these files?
You do not view the binary database files directly. MySQL is a service that you connect to with a client and then perform SQL commands. You will need a client (such as MySQL Workbench) to work with the server.
MySQL Workbench is the GUI tool that allows you to connect to a MySQL database and perform actions on it including querying and creating/modifying the various parts of the database.
MySQL Workbench intro: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-intro.html
Getting started with MySQL: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/tutorial.html
There is also the command-line utility that is included when you install the server. It will be in the BIN folder of the MySQL install directory.
Command-line client info: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql.html
Use a tool like Mysql Workbench to connect to the DB. You do nothing directly to the files. You connect to the service and use the DB.
William, it sounds like your question is "how do I take mysql binary files and turn them into something usable on my machine?". If that's the case, you'll want to first install MySQL on your machine if you haven't already. Then you might have a look here for how to recreate a database from a .ibd file.
I am using Lynda.com Rails tutorial. I created a MySQL database for my Ruby on Rails application simple_cms.
The database is called simple_cms_development.
Let's say I want to move this database into a new server, where do I find it?
I am running rvm, and I saw mysql is inside this rvm, but I am not able to access it. I searched my computer for simple_cms_development , and couldn't find anything either. Any ideas? Thanks
Copy the source code from the original machine to the new machine, or get it onto your new machine from a remote repository using git.
Run rake:db:create in the application directory on your new machine. This is assuming you have MySQL running on the new machine.
Use either the mysql client or the mysqldump utility to get a dump file of your MySQL database from your original machine.
Copy the dump file to the new machine and load it into the database using the MySQL client.
You can google the details of how to use git, dump and load MySQL, etc.
RVM is a tool for managing Ruby versions and gems. A Rails project backed by a MySQL database will need to use some Ruby gem (like mysql2) to allow the Rails app to talk to the MySQL database. All you're seeing in the .rvm directory is the gem. I'm not sure if the usual MySQL gems provide functionality to dump or load a database, at any rate you may as well use the MySQL client directly.
