Good day, I'm currently new in working with databases. I downloaded an application called MySql Worckbench 5.2 CE because I saw that it has an easy way of creating and accessing databases. I'm now in the process of exporting the .sql. Whenever I go to the export tab which looks like this:
After I click on Start Export, it gives me this error:
I'm not sure what the error is cause I'm not familiar with MySql dump.. is there a way to resolve this? or use an alternative way. I'm also not familiar with using mysql from cmd (Windows) but if there is any suggestion or steps I can follow, it would be a great help.
Great and simple tutorial for MySQL Workbench.

Check out the Generating SQL section.
Still facing problem. ↓↓↓
Try installing MySQL Workbench on-default Windows directory.
I recommend using PhpMyAdmin
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php
OR navicat? (not free)
or you can use Sequel Pro for mac (free)

This may be a very basic question. Is working on workbench and using the sql query offline mode, the black one(sorry for the language but just a newbie) same or are they different?
Also is working on workbench easy or require some prior knowledge? I tried to download the normal sql parts but they were just giving problems so decided to install just the workbench and do my work on that. Is it one and the same? Will i get some problems later on if i use just the workbench?
Please help. Thank you.
You can using the workbench for executing the scripts. This will work same as the sql server. you can refer the basic sql scripts throught this site.
Basic Scripts
I need a quick and easy way to import MS Excel databases and query them with PL/SQL for a class assignment. So far I've tried downloading MySQL Workbench and SQL Developer based on my class recommendations. MySQL Workbench looks simpler so I'm trying to learn to use that.
I'm completely lost on how to get started. Is it required for me to connect to a SQL database server before importing data? If so, how do I create one? I'm working off of my laptop and again, this is just for class so I don't need anything fancy.
I apologize for the very basic questions, as I have just started with learning databases. I researched for 2+ hours trying to figure out what to do, as my class resources aren't helpful and I must not be googling correctly as I can't find answers. If it's helpful at all, I've been successfully working with MS Access for SQL queries, so I'm comfortable with the environment. Thanks in advance.
xampp is provides a control panel for start/stop the mysql server, you can download xampp from here. After installing xampp set the enviroment variable in your system for recognizing mysql commnad in your command prompt.
you can access mysql command line in your command prompt like this,
mysql -u root
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,

I do not use the Shell interface.
I have my own shared Linux server at SoftLayer with WHM and CPanel for my two joomla website installations.
I would like to start migrating populated tables from the old site to the new one.
BUT I don't know how to use shell access, and I prefer a graphical interface anyway.
I am working on installed extensions one at a time.
I saw a mention about MySQL Workbench 6.0.7
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/tools/workbench/
but am unsure of it's operation on my server.
Any insight on making this task easier or more foolproof would be appreciated.
Export your tables from PHPMyAdmin on your cpanel, then import them to your new server via PHPMyAdmin too.
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".
