When investigation
I found following answer
How do I generate a SQL script from my diagram in MySQL Workbench?
BUT its generate ALL database tables code into ONLY ONE single SQL script
Any Help to generate the database tables code into Multi Separated SQL script(s)
There is no direct way to exclude or include a specific database in the output script, however you can use a workaround. On the SQL Object Export Filter page you can determine which objects to export. Since it supports multiselection and is sorted alphabetically (so all objects from one schema stay together) you can quickly collect object lists for each schema.
Open (Data Export) by selecting following menu item
Server -> Data Export
Then
Choose your DB schema and its tables which need to be exported
Choose Dump Structure Only
Choose Export option Export to Dump project folder
Finally after customize your export .. click start export

I am trying to export a query in MySQL Workbench. I want to export only certain columns, hence I am exporting a query, not an entire table.
My current approach is to create a view comprised of the columns of interest, then export it. MySQL Workbench has wizard for table import/export, but I don't see any functionality for view export. Am I missing something?
I'm not using INTO OUTFILE because I'm having file permission issues and I'm not the system admin.
Currently the Table Export Wizard menu entry is only available on a table node in the schema tree. But look closer: the wizard still lists not only tables, but also views:
I'll take care to have this menu entry added also to views in the schema tree.
You can do this in Data Export wizard:
Note that in the above example, I am exporting actor_info view.

I have used database -> reverse engineer to retrieve the schema from phpmyadmin. But when I tried it, the data records that filled in table do not appear in mysql workbench. The things that appear is only the relation and the structure/attribute of the tables. What should I do so that the data records can be retrieve from phpmyadmin? Thank you
Try exporting the database in .sql
Select Database > Export > SQL > Go
You probably tried to reverse engineer the script in the modeling section, which creates a model from the content. A model doesn't work with the actual data, but only the meta data (schema objects and structure).
If you actually want to import the full dump into your server then open an SQL connection to it from the homescreen and execute the script there.
I am new at databases. I have table and and I need to export it and save its structure. I'm using MySql Workbench. It is my first task and I have no idea and know just few things about databases.
Your question is a bit unprecise. What exactly do you want to export? The table structure + data for later restore (if so use a dump) or just the table data in a common format like CSV for further processing (if so use the table data export wizard).
A dump is what is usually used to store SQL data + structure in text files (conventionally tagged with an .sql extension). These contain Data Definition Language (DDL) constructs which define the meta data (e.g. CREATE TABLE) as well as Data Manipulation Language (DML) commands to manage the content (e.g. INSERT or DELETE). This structure serves well for copying content between servers and such, as it is what a database server speaks natively. In MySQL Workbench you can import and export such dumps via the Management tab -> Data Import/Restore:
For importing and exporting data via a common file format like CSV or JSON, use the table data import/export feature, reachable via the context menu for a given table:
this does however not preserve the structure of the table in a manner which would allow to recreate it automatically (like SQL statements do).
is there any possibility to export only tables visible in one diagram to .sql file, not including whole DB structure?
For example I have two projects with very similar DB, but different in few tables and I want to keep structure of both in one .mwb file.
I know I can select tables to export, but I am trying to avoid selecting and deselecting that same tables over and over.
No, this is not possible. If you like you can file a feature request (http://bugs.mysql.com).
I have a wordpress instance running on my localhost. In order to move this to another server, I'd like to export the contents of this database to an sql file. However, I don't have the permission to create new databases, I have an existing database in which I'd like to insert the tables and all the rows inside them. Is there a way to tell phpmyadmin to export the data in such a way that everything will be inserted into this new database? Or would it be better to just do a find/replace inside the sql file?
In fact, if you select the database in phpmyadmin, it shows all the tables contained. If you choose to export at that stage, it will export by default (actually depends on its version) all the tables structure and data without database creation. Additionally, it does give you the option of exporting only the data.
