I recently thought of upgrading mysql in my system for a project when I found two parallelly available downloads for windows in mysql site. I cannot figure out the difference between mysql community and mysql installer.
MySQL community is available for both 32 and 64 bit windows (both above 300 MBs) while mysql installer is 267 MB for 32 bit while just 1.6 MB for 64 bit (which looks like web installer).
So what extras are there in community server (its size is bigger) as compared to installer and if I go for windows installer, shall I go for 32 or 64 bit. I need offline installer though.
My system specs:
Windows 8.1 x64 Professional 8GB RAM
Link for mysql installer:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/
Link for mysql community server:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
PS: I did try a google search but cant find any good articles. I only found difference between community server and cluster.
Moreover, half of my batch mates were running community server while half of them mysql installer. Couldn't find much of the difference.
Both will install into same final setup. the web-community is online installer, you need to download to connect to the online server and installations files come from online while the community installer is an offline installer with full features. web-installer (online, need internet connection to complete the installation), community-installer(offline, full).
The difference between MySQL Community (mysql-8.0.18-winx64) and MySQL Installer (mysql-installer-community-8.0.18.0.msi) is that the MySQL Installer has
MySQL Server
MySQL Connectors
MySQL Workbench and sample models
MySQL for Excel
MySQL for Visual Studio,
Etc..
And MySQL Community only includes the MySQL Server.
Hope this helps anyone who is still looking for an answer.
The only difference is that MSI installer come with all mysql products (mysql server, mysql workbeanch, plugins, etc) and you have a wizar that guide you through install and it's check dependencys . That is the only diference i found using the MSI installer and the comunity edition.
It is more easy to use MSI installer if you don't know what products you have to install on your computer.
Be careful when you use the web installer, because you need that internet connection at your workplace work fine.
The differences are:
MySQL Community is for all Operating Systems including only the Server itself, whereas
MySQL Installer (MSI installer) is for Windows only and includes Windows specify integrations like Excel, and Visual Studio integrations.
mysql installer contains all in one including workbench
mysql community only contains mysql

I'm developing a system for a client and I think he may only have a Mac. I recently downloaded and installed MySQL on my Windows laptop for the first time. I think I stumbled around a bit trying to get the correct download and understand the install process. When I google MySQL downloads, I get the following url:
https://www.mysql.com/downloads/
The header on the page says "MySQL Enterprise Edition." Usually, the "Enterprise Edition" of a company's software costs money, but in the case of MySQL is it free? The following tool was installed with my local install of MySQL:
MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE
This is the standard client tool for MySQL, I got the hang of it pretty quickly, so I'd like to simply standardize on it. Can you provide a good download url for the latest free version of the Mac version of MySQL? Can you also provide a good download url for the latest free version of the Windows version of MySQL just so that I have it for reference?
Like I mentioned, it was my first time installing MySQL recently, but I think at the end of the installation, a Window popped up asking how I wanted to configure the MySQL installation, but it so happened that the MySQL installation was already complete. Or does this scenario most likely seem to indicate I had already installed MySQL and the configuration popup was just the installer's handling of my attempt to install MySQL on my machine when I had previously installed it?
Look all the way down to the bottom of this image:
Click on "MySQL Community (GPL) Downloads". It takes you to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ which is where you can download the Community Edition of MySQL Server.
They don't restrict downloads of their free product, they just put it in a smaller font. :-)
It's understandable that they would want to promote their paid product.
I am using MySQL in my python 2.7 project.
I have created a database and tables on a windows 7 professional operating system (64-bit).
I want to see the data that is stored in the database's tables, using MySQL Workbench. The problem is I am getting the following message:
What should I do to solve this problem?
I know there is a MySQL archive from which I can download earlier versions of the workbench, but I don't know what version is suitable for my operating system. Does anybody know?
link to the archive -
https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/
Thanks.
Install older version from mysql workbench download arechives https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/ and choose version 8.0.12
Install older version from mysql community edition download archives

Windows 7 is not a supported platform. See the platform list on the MySQL site: https://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/workbench.html.
I'm successfully using MySQL Workbench version 8.0.12 on Windows 7.
(Apparently this was the latest supported version and it doesn't have the compatibility warning.)
Please download a lower version of Mysql Workbench(in archives section on download page). This solved my problem.
I am struggling to install MySQL 5.7 on Windows 10 after a clean removal of MySQL 8.0. The installer defaults to the version 8.0.12, with no way for me to change it.
When I run the installer (which has the version number 5.7.23.0), I am prompted to the following screen:
... despite the fact that this installer is (supposedly) for specifically the version 5.7.
I am unfamiliar with the manual installation process, so I was wondering if someone could help me install MySQL 5.7 on my PC (preferably all the other MySQL products such as the Connector and the Workbench as well). I've been trying to follow the instructions on the official documentation, but I stopped because I had no idea what I was doing.
I removed my MySQL 8.0.11 installation
Then I removed all the MySQL folders in the program and data folders
I disabled the gateway
Then started the installer for version 5.7.24 and that was oke.
First download all requirements and install them first
Then the installation was done. At the Installation screen, the status was ready to download, but I ignored it first and then I enabled the gateway again and the installation was fine.
At the installation screen it was clearly that version 5.7 would be installed. It only installed some 8.0 products (like the Shell, Router, connectors etc).
After checking, i've got Workbench 8 but MySQL 5.7.24
I downloaded the zip file for Mysql 5.6.16, but there is no .exe file in the folder.
All the instructions online are saying install through .msi file.
How can i install and configure mysql 5.6.16 in windows 7 ??
Thanx in advance
As described in How to install MySQL on Windows 7?:
The installer installs the following software in your computer
a.) MySQL Server
b.) MySQL Connectors
c.) MySQL Workbench and sample
models
d.) MySQL for Excel
e.) MySQL Notifier
f.) MySQL for Visual
Studio
g.) Sample Databases
h.) Documentation
Download the installer here : http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/
There are two options available: (as on 31 Jan 2014 , the latest version is 5.6.16)
(i) mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.16.0.msi – 1.5MB
(ii) mysql-installer-community-5.6.16.0.msi – 250.8MB
I personally prefer the 2nd option. This helps me to keep the .msi file as backup in my computer. I can install MySQL whenever I need to
even if I am offline.
After downloading the 250 MB file, double click it to start the installation process. Now it is simple as installing any software on
windows 7.
Once you are done with the installation download the official document
Direct link for A4 size pdf –
http://downloads.mysql.com/docs/refman-5.6-en.a4.pdf
Now click the “MySQL Notifier” in programs menu. The Notifier icon appears in the task bar (right bottom). Right click on the small red
icon and select “start” the server option.
Click the “MySQL Workbench” in the programs menu. Start creating databases/schemas/tables/SQL scripts.
You can install mysql server on windows, using mysql web community installer. The web community installer is 32 bit, but you can use it install mysql on both 32 bit and 64 bit windows machines.
For step by step guide for installing mysql on windows machine, check this page How to install MySQL server on windows?
Install Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer) from this link , even if your are using 64 bit operating system. MySQL Installer is 32 bit, but will install both 32 bit and 64 bit binaries.
Simply follow the steps and make sure to select the dependency for Visual Studio. Installer will download everything for you.
Please Download Xampp Windows installer & install it on Windows. Hope this would work for you - www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwSCUHIzMsk .

This is actually 2 questions...
Background:
After using the command line in MySQL for my database introductory classes (very enjoyable), I had been required to use a DBA tool and downloaded XAMPP as identified below.
The transition to a GUI would be ok if I understood the interface for creating database tables...
Q1.I have searched the net and Amazon trying to locate a user manual for XAMPP... does anyone have an actual manual? At this point it is trial and error.
Q2. As a student I am curious about the use of these tools in the real world... why not use the command line provided in MySQL?

Thank You for your interest!
Xampp is just a collection of other tools... the sql tool, phpMyAdmin, has it's own manual.
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/docs.php
As for why to use xampp, it's meant for simplicity. If you were going to use ALL of the tools in the package (web server, database, php interpreter, etc, etc) it would take a considerable amount of time and effort to install and configure. xampp does everything for you. I don't use xampp, myself.
