I have about 11 columns in a mysql table and none of them are empty. When I view these columns in the Browse section, some columns are hidden whereas I'm sure they exist.
I have updated phpMyAdmin to latest version (4.1.5) but that did not solve anything. I also exported the table, dropped it and imported it again but nothing changed.
How do I make all the columns visible?
You could look in the exported file to double-check that they exist there.
Another thing to try; from the table, click the SQL tab. The default text will probably say SELECT * FROM `tablename` WHERE 1, try running that and see if you get any different response.
If you click the Structure tab, do you see the columns that are hidden?
Do you have access to the command-line client? If so, can you test showing the table structure there to see if it's different than displayed by phpMyAdmin?
Edit: Have you tried a different browser?
Marc Delisle points out that the column may be hidden within phpMyAdmin; in the Browse tab look to the left of the column headers, there's a T with two arrows -- to the right of that is a small dropdown arrow. Make sure all your columns are selected there. It's doubtful this is the cause of your problem, because you dropped the table and recreated it, but it's the next thing to check.
Can you copy the table to another database for testing, verify that the problem exists there, then truncate the table (remove all data, see the Operations tab to do this), and see if it continues (that will help determine whether it's the structure or the data causing the problem)?
Can you try to export the structure only and recreate the problem on the demo server (log in with the username root and a blank password)? Can you post the structure here? Make sure you obscure any sensitive information if needed.
This question is a duplicate to this one:
phpMyAdmin doesn't show added columns
so here is my duplicate answer! I don't think I have enough kudos to flag this as duplicate yet.
Database phpmyadmin is used to store which columns are hidden, which column a table should be sorted by, etc etc. Table pma_table_uiprefs (phpmyadmin.pma_table_uiprefs) in particular has columns: username; db_name; table_name; and prefs.
I found the row in that table that matches your db_name,user_name and table_name, and deleted it. That reset the layout back to showing all columns!
The prefs column is text, and it's format could probably be deciphered if you have some spare time and energy, but deleting the row is easy and you can then adjust the layout again in phpmyadmin, and the row will be recreated in phpmyadmin.pma_table_uiprefs.
I was authenticated as root when doing this.
i just solved this with a relatively easy fix! (finally my time to give back :) )
For anyone reading in future, go to operations (top row, same as browse, structure etc). Then under Copy table to (database.table): just change the name of the table, press go. This will create a duplicate that should be fine.
Go to the same area of the problematic table and DROP it under Delete data or table. This will delete the table.
Now go to the operations of your new page and rename the table to the way it was. Like in the image linked.

So I wanted to import a CSV to make a new table, and while it's successful, I had 2 issues.
First is, while it says drag and drop works, mine doesn't, it shows an icon which means wrong format. However browsing the storage works normally.
Second is making the first row the column names. Even though I ticked the checkbox which function is for that, while it did set the column names, it still used the first row as the part of the data too. So the first row of the created table contains the names.
Why is that?
Here's the screenshot of the drag and drop failure.
I need a table where all deleted items from my main table go. I found the easiest way to do this is to copy my main table, paste the table and change the name. In my main table I went to the design tab, Create Data Macros, after delete. In the set field I put the name of the field, and for the value I put [Old].[ID] etc. My problem is this works great until I try to add in my "comments field" to the list. My comments field data type is "Long Text".
Somethings I have tried: deleting all calculated fields and adding them back in as short text (worked for some fields), Deleted all default values, deleted all validation rules.
Expected result would be for my deleted record from my main table to show up into the deleted records table. I receive no error message when deleting a record. It simply doesn't add to the to the deleted table. Thanks for looking.
Why copy tables? Create a yes/no field On your table called "Deleted." Then you can run a query for or against that field depending on if you want to see the deleted data or not. Add the field to existing queries that shouldn't show these, and set its criteria to false.
I have an Access 2003 database with several tables in it. Just recently, I began noticing a problem that I don't believe has been happening in the past. I try entering part numbers at the bottom most row of my table, but if I accidentally click on another part number in another row, the new part jumps to the top of my table.
At first I thought this was due to the table automatically alphabetizing my entry, however that is not the case because I have tried entering "dummy" data that starts with everything from A-Z as well as numbers. Regardless of the first character I use, the new entry jumps to the top. I simply want it to stay at the bottom of my table and integrate itself into the table alphabetically later (upon closing the table and opening a new instance of it).
Does anyone know why this may be happening and could give me some advice on how to fix it? I don't have any primary keys set within the table design view either.
Thanks
I have installed MySQL Workbench and I have the following problem.
I perform this simple select query:
SELECT * FROM spring_security.user;
that returns a list of rows.
So, in the output area, I select a field of a specific row and I try to change its value. But I can't do it.
Seems that is is impossible insert a new value for a specific field of a specific row.
Why? How can I use this tool to change a value?
You can do easy with MySql Workbench this way :
in menu database simply connect
then select the database you need and then the table.
Positioning the mouse over the table name in table schemas explore and so you can see on the rightside a table icon.
Selecting/clicking this icon you can see the date in tabular form (like Toad).
With this tabular form you can edit and apply the change
Applying the change MySql Workbench show you the sql code and ask for confirm
(the apply button is on the lower right corner of the table)
Leif Neland's comment on #scaisEdge's answer is the real solution (as indicated by the huge comment-upvote count), so here it is as an answer, to increase its visibility:
Given that:
your query selects from just one table (no join)
the table has a unique primary key
your DB user has permission to UPDATE
Then, in the Result Grid, you can edit a field by one of the following:
Click a field once to select it (the cursor changes into text cursor), and click a second time to start editing in-place in the Result Grid, or
Right click on a the field and select the "Open Value in Editor" option
After editing the value, you need to apply it:
The [apply] and [revert] buttons are at the lower right corner of the table.

As shown here:
Also, you can execute next script:
UPDATE table SET cell='new_value' WHERE whatever='somevalue'
This answer may be too late, but in case anyone needs it, MAKE SURE THE TABLE HAS A PK (Primary KEY) if it has a PK you will able to edit it in MySQL Workbanch
I am using MySQL Workbench 6 CE to create some tables for a new schema I made.
When I create the new table, the application displays a tab which allows me to edit the table name (by default, the name is new_table), select the schema default, and add a comment for the table (though doing that seems to generate syntax errors in the generated SQL).
What it does not do is allow me to specify or configure any of the columns for the table. There is an entire column section that is completely greyed out.
I am logged in as root and root has all privileges for this schema.
Have I found a bug, or is there something special I need to do in order to allow column specification in a table???
Someone please advise...
UPDATE: Adding screenshot as requested...
Click on the encircled double arrow
You will now be able to edit columns. Click on any column name, grey area will become editable now.
When you started creating a new table you can simply add columns by double clicking the empty placeholder row:
I have had the same prb in MySQL Worbench 6.3.6. Here is the link to the solution.
Or just drag down your Output Panel in short !

You have to checked any key to enable the column name.
please check PK,NN, UQ, B etc then column are ready to edit.
