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 am using the Data Export functionality to create a dump of a database in MySQL Workbench. Once I select the database, I want to select a subset of the tables on the right side in the screenshot. However, the list of tables is not displayed. How do I make a single-file dump of a subset of tables of a database?
Click on one row and you see the tables
It may sound dumb from me, but have you tried to click on the database choosen, not just check it.
Try to click the name of the database.
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.

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 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.
I have access to phpMyAdmin, but NOT the MySQL command line.
I need to recreate the table structure elsewhere along with certain tables that need to be 'pre-populated'. I can, of course, export the empty table structure and then export the tables one-by-one, but is there a better way to export a bunch of table data together?
If you click on the database name at the top left and then click the Export tab you can select which tables you want to export at the left. You will still do 2 exports, first for all the structures, and then a second one for the data with only the tables that you need.
