Is it possible to create a local database on my home-computer for MYSQL workbench?
This server is only for my own use. Not to the outside community.
Download XAMPP on your machine and install it. (Windows)
After successful installation, you will be able to see an icon on your toolbar.
Click on it and start Apache, MySQL and if anything you need.
Open browser, type : localhost/phpmyadmmin
This will give you an GUI to manage databases locally on your machine. XAMPP basically provides you local server.
If this is what you are looking for, after creating a database in MySQL from your local machine, then that you could access the database through MySQL workbench as a local instance. It asks you to authenticate based on your MySQL conf though. Just the normal way!
You can download WAMP (Apache, Mysql, PHP) server on Windows.
Then add new connection in workbench.
host:127.0.0.1
username:root
password:<Empty>

I have been using MySql Workbench to connect to a local MySql server and to remote MySql Servers. The last couple of days the Workbench freezes when I connect to the local version. It still works for the remote servers.
I am using workbench 6.3.4 and then tried 6.2.5 just to see if it is a version issue.
I also can access the local MySql instance using HeidiSQL.
Any recommendations on what to look for?
Update
The advice to recreate the connection solved the issue. I just created a new one and it works fine.
A couple of things you can try:
Try restarting the sql server (remember, workbench is just a utility for accessing a db, it does not host the database for you)
See if you can access mysql on the command prompt / terminal, the command for mac & windows
(once you navigate to the mysql folder, try the command:)
mysql -u root
(if you have a password-protected account, the command will be
mysql -u someuser -p
If the above doesn't work, mysql is either offline or denying you access (depending on response), and you'll need to setup the server / assign privileges.
If all else fails, it may help to try another version of SQL / Workbench (for a easy-to-use sql sever setup, I'd recommend WAMP or MAMP, assuming you want a HTTP server bundled with it)
Additionally, it may help to recreate the local connection in workbench (of if your getting regular crashes, reinstall & update workbench). Good luck with it.
I know the question I am about to ask is a very stupid once but I am new to MYSQL so please bear with me. Want I want to do is create a database on my local machine and also access/manipulate it from their. I thought MYSQL WB was the all in one tool to do this i.e it will also allow me to create a database and also make a MYSQL server from which to access it. But I came to know the Workbench is just a front end and you need to have a some kind of a seperate MYSQL server module for it to access.
The problem is I can't seem to find any link for a simple a server module on the MYSQL download site.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ .
It has one Cluster Server but I don't think this is what I am looking for. If anyone could provide a link to the MYSQL server module using which I could connect MYSQL Workbench on my local host, and the steps to connect them that would be great.
The one your looking for is named MySQL Community Edition. The current version is 5.6.14. Just select your platform (mac, linux or windows) and follow the installation guide.
If you wish to have php/mysql then you can download xampp. It includes all the necessary tools. Or if you wish to install it separately then follow this for Windows,
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
My aim is to create some simple tables in MySQL via a GUI similar to SQL Server Management Studio. In order to do this I found and installed MySQL Workbench.
I am following this tutorial:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-getting-started-tutorial-admin.html
but on step 5 I get an error message saying cannot connect to MySQL server.
Am I supposed to have something else installed before I can use MySQL Workbench? I have assumed Workbench includes everything I need....
You will need to install MySQL yourself. You can download it individually or using a tool like WAMPserver which makes the process of installing and configuring ridiculously easy.
You will need a server. SO you can goto start->mysql folder->mysql Installer.
After that a Mysql Installer form will open. Click on ADD. You will see a list of
products. Select Server(x86 or x64) based on your machine and follow instructions
provided.Once you have downloaded, set admin password. Now you can create your instance in workbench. If server is not running, run services.msc and start MySQL
service.
I am extremly new with databases. I have only created one, and that was in SQLite on android. I downloaded MySQL Admin for linux (Ubuntu) and downloaded and installed Admin. Now I want to create a database, but I jave know idea what I'm doing. I created a connection via the drop down menu option 'Open Connection Editor', and I keep getting a 'MySQL Error Nr. 2005' error. Do I have to do something command line wise first to set up the database?
Any help is appreciated.
Aedon
MySQL is different to SQLite in that you need to have some server software running the whole time managing the database. It's that server software that you connect a MySQL client to.
You need to grab yourself a copy of MySQL Server then I'd recommend this tutorial
Good luck!
If you are using Ubuntu you can install MySQL Server easily with this command:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
and then I suggest you to download MySQL Workbench, it's a GUI Tool where you can do almost everything with MySQL databases (create,drop,alter, modeling, administer the service).
Then, you can create a connection with mysql workbench or mysql admin (or another client) and do your stuff. If you installed the server in your PC then the parameter are something like this:
host = localhost
user = root
password = (the password you specified in the installation)
am installed mysqlserver on windows(xp) another system as server....i want to access mysql from (i.e create table) client machine.client machine does't have mysql..and installed all tools..how can i connect from client..
Here's a list of Mysql tools, http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/
If it is a pure windows system then use Putty to connect to remote client.
After that navigate to the mysql server directory.
YOu can then use the above mentioned commands to start,stop mysql server/ add tables etc..
