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,

How do I install MySQL Workbench properly? Can't connect to the SQLTools extension in VSCode.I'm new to the database scene, and can't seem to grasp how to create a successful SQL server that I can use to manipulate data. But nothing I'm doing seems to work.
Should I use Gitbash to access the terminal? I tried using my password to make a new query but it wouldn't work on the workbench. I don't know how to start the SQL server in addition to not knowing how to properly change the profile for the Workbench from a previous account. A new developer, such as myself, would appreciate any insight!
So that's really simple just install the mysql community server installer using this link https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
Make sure to select the server only in the setup during installation if you are going to be using VS code as the client to manipulate sql queries
Then once that is done copy the bin path location from the mysql file directory (which is usually in the program files on your \C: drive on your computer) to the environment variables on your computer so that you can access mysql from the command line
Once that is done you can initialise a database from the normal command line but first type mysql -u root -p to start mysql in the command line
Then download the sql tools extension on vs code and create the database that wish
I'm a beginner in SQL so i'm sorry if the question is too basic.
I just created a database in MySQL Workbench in my computer and i would like to be able to access and modify the database from another computer within my house. I read some solutions but they all require using some external product, is there a way and how can i do this by the MySQL Workbench GUI, or maybe other functionalities from MySQL?
I also installed MySQL community server on the other computer that i would like to connect my database to.
Thanks!
If it's a home network, and both of you are connected via same router, then you can connect to mysql server on the other device using http://ip_of_machine_running_mysql:3306.
ip_of_machine_running_mysql should be the ip of the machine running mysql server.
Worth to note that you need to allow remote connection to mysql if you haven't already done so when you were doing mysql installation.
The steps for enabling remote access differs for your os(windows, ubuntu, mac), but you can easily find tutorials and how to's for changing such configuration.

I am running Mac OS 10.10.2. I have recently been educating myself about php and SQL in order to create an online database application for my employer. However, I have been unable to load up my MySQL databases in phpMyAdmin. I have tried following some advice from this forum, but no answers seem to solve my issue.
I installed MySQLWorkbench (Ver. 6.2.4.12437) as well as XAMPP (Ver. 5.6.3-0), and was using phpMyAdmin to have a play around and better understand what I was getting myself into. I then found one of those follow-the-bouncing-ball type teaching websites which advised me to download and install the MySQL community server (Currently running Ver. 5.6.23)
As instructed, I was learning SQL commands through Terminal and built up some databases/tables this way. I decided I wanted to jump into phpMyAdmin where I felt it'd be easier to continue my work. At first XAMPP was unable to turn on the servers which I overcame by uninstalling and reinstalling. Then I was getting a #2002 error when trying to access phpMyAdmin. I tinkered with config files and put in details relating to my localhost MySQL server (Or at least I assume as much).
I was able to get back into phpMyAdmin finally, but my databases made through terminal are not there.
phpMyAdmin shows: cdcol (the example database), information_schema, mysql, performance_schema, phpmyadmin, and test.
If I open terminal and punch in 'mysql' then 'SHOW DATABASES;' it only lists: information_schema.
If I open terminal and punch in 'mysql' with username 'root' and my password, then 'SHOW DATABASES;' it lists: information_schema, mysql, performance_schema, my tutorial/learning database, and my business database. I dropped the test database from here. THESE are what I want to bring up in phpMyAdmin.
I can only guess that I haven't got it configured properly to access this last mysql server, but I can't determine where I am going wrong. If anyone can shed some light on this, that'd be greatly appreciated.
It appears as if you have two MySQL instances; one from the XAMPP and also the MySQL Community Server that you installed yourself.
The "M" of XAMPP is for MySQL, so yes usually it runs its own MySQL server instance. That's sort of the point of the packaged kit, so you don't have to worry about having any of your own applications installed. In theory it should be no problem to stop the XAMPP MySQL instance and instead use your other one, but may require tweaking some configuration files and is probably not supported. If you can make it work, I don't see a reason why it would be a problem, though.
My suggestion is to either use the complete XAMPP stack or roll your own installation rather than mix and match.
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'm trying to get back into PHP and MySQL development since i've found out that MySQL now allows stored procedures. I work with these at work on an Oracle database and use PL/SQL developer to create them. I was looking for a similar sort of interface for MySQL and was pointed in the direction of MySQL workbench. I'm using Xampp as my test server setup and would like to link MySQL Workbench to MySQL on this server however I'm stuck at one of the stages in the installation. I'm trying to create a new server instance and have been successful as far as testing the database connection however on the next page it asks me to set the 'windows configuration parameters' for this machine and failes to discover a MySQL service. I have ensured that both the Apache server and MySQL services are running in Xampp but do not understand why a MySQL service cannot be found and is not being displayed. Has anyone else encountered this issue when trying to use MySQL Workbench and if so, how did you amanage to get it up and running? I'm using Windows 8 and don't know if this is the reason a service isn't being found. I apologise if this is a really simple question with a simple answer however I have only ever used PHPMyAdmin before which is relatively simple to setup.
I have found problems with the packaged *AMP systems. They don't always install things the way other applications expect. e.g. The MAMP system doesn't work well with Python. it's quite easy to install each of Apache, PHP and MySql on Windows (and two of them are already on the Mac and Linux)
If you use the standard MySql install you should have no trouble installing the Workbench, I've done it on both Windows and Mac.
I have found it a bit flakey at times, it won't connect to older server versions and tends to crash when running long scripts. It also doesn't have a great UI for queries, A good program like PLSQL Developer to TOAD would be nice.
The service detection is rather simple. It expects that the service contains "MySQL" in its name. This is planned to be improved later. For now rename your service to something like "MySQL Xampp".
