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.

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 have created two databases for the same connection string. When trying to create the .reveng file using netbeans it shows me the list of tables in one table only. And i couldn't find any option to select the database either. Is there a way to access the other databases in the same db connection?
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 have MySQL running on my local machine. I have created several tables in MySQL workbench and connected WebMatrix to the MySQL DB. All the tables are present, however one of them does not contain any data (but it contains data in MySQL database). I have refreshed in Web Matrix, redone the connection string etc but the data does not display. When I try to run the SQL that populated the database in MySQL, inside of WebMatrix I receive this error from the Database Manager:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
My SQL is too long to post here. Any suggestions?
Restarted MySQL service and refreshed in WebMatrix. Data is now present. Not sure what was causing the issues but is resolved.
I'm running a migration for a MS SQL database to a MySQL database. One of the tables in the MS SQL instance has bullets in a VARCHAR field. When these are migrated over to MySQL, the bullets change to ? instead. The collation doesn't seem to be an issue because the MySQL database will save the bullets correctly if I enter them manually.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can check to get them to migrate properly or does this just seem like an issue with the migrator itself?
I ended up running find and replace queries on both databases before and after the migration. Not an ideal fix, but it works.
