Guys I'm using MySQL Workbench. Is there a way to use it to backup my database automatically?
The correct answer is There is no backup scheduling/automating option in MySQL Workbench as of 6.2. You can do manual backup in version 6.x by clicking on DataExport under Management. See below:
MySQL WorkBench Data Export Import

Making a backup in MySQL workbench is a pretty easy task, but it can
be hard to find exactly where to do it the first time around.
Typically when you're working in MySQL Workbench you will be using the
SQL Development section. But in order to export a backup you have to
move to the Server Administration section.
The first time through you will have to Create A New Server Instance.
If you have already set up the connection parameters in the SQL
Development section, you can just choose Take Parameters from Existing
Database Connection.
MySQL Workbench will then test the connection.
In the "Remote Management Type" dialog, select Do not use remote
management.
Create Instance Profile is just asking you for a name for the
connection. You can enter whatever you'd like here.
When you make the connection in the Server Administration section you
will see a notice that remote administration is disabled. But don't
worry, you can still make a backup of your database.
Click the Data Dump tab to access the export utility.
Check the box for the database you want to back up
Choose Export to Self-Contained File and make sure the path is correct.
Hit the Start Export button.
Edit:
I am using mysql administrator, which has schedule option. check this also:
http://www.davecolorado.com/index.php/scheduled-backup-with-mysql-administrator-on-windows/
You can use Create Event in MySql workbench to create automated backups. Sample code:
CREATE EVENT IF NOT EXISTS test_event_01
ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
DO
INSERT INTO messages(message,created_at)
VALUES('Test MySQL Event 1',NOW());

It started with installation of wampserver for php, before that I had already running MySQL server 5.7 with all databases properly showing in the side schema panel. When I launched MySQL server after installation of wampserver 5.7.14, the password for root was overridden and no database except sys is showing. Also I found another user (mysql.sys) has been created (found in Users and Privileges). Then I looked for databases in path "ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\Data", all databases are present in the folder (thank god they are not deleted). Problem is now for my website I get this error:
"Unable to update database to match the current model because there are pending changes and automatic migration is disabled. Either write the pending model changes to a code-based migration or enable automatic migration. Set DbMigrationsConfiguration.AutomaticMigrationsEnabled to true to enable automatic migration"
Exception Details: System.Data.Entity.Migrations.Infrastructure.AutomaticMigrationsDisabledException: Unable to update database to match the current model because there are pending changes and automatic migration is disabled. Either write the pending model changes to a code-based migration or enable automatic migration. Set DbMigrationsConfiguration.AutomaticMigrationsEnabled to true to enable automatic migration.
I know this is not related to migrations because my database already exists but I don't know how to solve the problem that MySQL can see the databases in its "ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\Data" again.
When you installed WAMPServer on a system that already had a MYSQL Server instance installed on it, you created a second MySQL Server instance. See your service you will have one called wampmysqld or wampmysqld64 and another called MYSQL.
Now, whichever service you start first will be the MySQL Server that Workbench, or anything else is talking to. And you will only see the databases that this MySQL Server instance knows about.
Correct Solution:
Stop WAMPServer
Start the MYSQL installed with Workbench
Backup all YOUR databases, NOT the ones created by MySQL like mysql, sys, information_schema, performance_schema
Stop this MYSQL Server.
Uninstall this MySQL Server
Start WAMPServer
Restore your databases to this MySQL Server instance
All should start working as expected now.
Connect your Workbench to WAMPServers MySQL Server

Did a robust workaround, though not very suggestible but database is now accessible in MySQL workbench. Though I'm having the same error when opening the website on local web server. One thing that I did not mention before that environment is Windows based. what I did is copied database from the ProgramData MySQL path to "..\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.14\data" path and refreshed schema in workbench. Any advice why I'm still having problem in web server.
I'm learning the way ADO.NET Models works in Entity Framework with MySQL. I Generate new test model and then select "Generate Database from model"
It produce for me new file "model_name.edms.sql" - actual MySQL script for database creation.
However to execute it I have to "Connect to Server" which by default comes as SQL Server 2012. but in my case I use MySQL and not MS SQL Server. I dont have SQL12 instance, im working with MySQL
How do I change it to connect to MySQL?
P.S. I know I can use "New Query" directly on database and copy / paste content of the file and execute. also I can use MySQL Workbench and tons of other applications, however im working in VS2013 where most of the tools already integrated, I cant believe that SQL files in VS13 can be executed only trough MS SQL12
I've just ran into the same problem and that's how to solve it.
I'm using VS 2010 Ultimate but I guess it's the same in VS 2013.
First, when you connect (and execute the sql) from the toolbar you actually request to do it on the 'Transact-SQL Editor' toolbar, which means that the toolbar handles the MS databases. That's why you ALWAYS get a connection dialog to MS databases.
If MySQL package is properly installed in VS (and apparently that's the case for you) you should:
Right click any existing toolbar (or go to View->Toolbars) and select MySQL. This should add the MySql Toolbar.
Click on the first button from the left (in 'MySQL Toolbar') to either connect to an existing Data Connection or create a new connection to your MySql DB. A MySql script tab will be added.
Copy all the sql generated from the EDMX file to the 'MySql script tab'.
Run the script from the 'MySql script tab'.
That should do it.
I know there's still a little copy-paste involved but at least you don't have to leave VS.
Hope that helps

First, you have to be sure that you have downloaded MySQL for Visual Studio. This is NOT Connector/Net (though you should probably have that, too).
In VS, when you open Server Explorer, you should be able to add a database. Input your server name, user name, password, and don't forget to click the Advanced button and add in your port (usually 3306). All of this information can be obtained from your MySQL Workbench. Now you should be able to deploy your EDMX to your MySQL database using the same steps you would use for SQL Server.
Full steps from Oracle can be found at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-net/en/connector-net-visual-studio-making-a-connection.html.
EDIT: Once you've performed the steps above, right-click in a blank space of your EDMX and choose SSDLToMySQL.tt in the dropdown on the DDL Generation Template. SSDLToSQL[version].tt is the default choice.
If you rename the whatever.edmx.sql file to whatever.edmx.mysql it will open in the proper tool and allow you to connect to your MySQL database server and run the script.
Perhaps at some point the generator will be updated to create the EDMX file with the ".mysql" instead of the ".sql" file extension to begin with.
I am working on Symfony2 Project and am beginner in symfony Framework. I am using XAMPP as webserver. Everything is working properly until system restarts. When I restart my computer the tables of mysql database using by symfony project corrupts automatically.
I am using windows 7 professional 32bit OS.so, is there any problem in mysql?
MySQL tables can become corrupt for several reasons, such as hardware
failure, operating system bugs, viruses and bugs in MySQL. hMailServer
itself does not cause corrupt MySQL tables. hMailServer communicates
with MySQL over TCP/IP using a standardized language.
There's nothing in this language that can cause corrupt tables.
If a MySQL table becomes corrupt, you need to repair it. Note that repairing a corrupt MySQL table may lead to loss of data. It's therefore important to create a backup of your system.
How do you know whether a table is corrupt?
Examine the hMailServer error log. If you see a lot of Error while executing SQL statement-messages, then it's likely that one or more of your tables are corrupt. Feel free to ask in the forum if you're unsure.
Step 1: Determine MySQL password
If you are using an external version of MySQL, you should already know your MySQL password.
If you are using the built-in MySQL version that comes with hMailServer, you might not know your password. To determine it, follow these steps:
Run the script hMailServer/Addons/Utilities/DecryptBlowfish.vbs.
Enter your main hMailServer Administrator password. This is the
password you specified during the installation when you first
installed hMailServer. Click OK.
Open up hMailserver.ini, located in your Windows directory or
hMailServer bin directory.
Copy the database password from hMailServer.ini to the "Enter
encrypted password" dialog. In hMailServer.ini, you should see a
line looking like this: [Database]
...
password=c85dae3cb73394ab
In this example, c85dae3cb73394ab is the encrypted password.
Click OK in DecryptBlowfish to view your password
DecryptBlowfish will now show your password. Either keep the dialog open or memorize the password.
Step 2: Connect to the server
To be able to repair your table, you need to connect to the MySQL server using a MySQL client. You can use SQLyog for this.
Download and install SQLyog
Create a new connection.
Enter the connection information for your MySQL server. If you are
using the built-in server, you should enter hostname: localhost,
user:root, password:password from DecryptBlowfish, port:3307
Click Connect to connect to the database server
Step 3: Repair the table
Follow these steps to run the SQL statement to repair the table.
In the tree to the left, click on the hmailserver database.
The hMailServer database will now be active.
In the right part of the SQLyog window, click on the Query tab.
Enter REPAIR TABLE tablename, for example, REPAIR TABLE hm_messages.
Click on the Execute Current Query button in the toolbar (or select
Edit->Execute Query->Execute current query or press F5).
MySQL should now repair the table. After the table has been repaired, restart the MySQL and than the hMailServer service. Depending on what table is corrupt, a restart of the services may not be required, but we recommend that you always do it.

I'm using MySql Workbench and WAMP Server. I have a database on the server and when I click reverse engineering on the workbench it imports the db structure, but not any of the inserts. What do I do to get the db data as well as the structure into the workbench.
Also on a separate point as I was using workbench, i noticed it did not automatically sync with the db on the server, ie. when i insert a new row, it did not reflect in the server.. must I forward engineer the db to the server every time i make a change? So sorry for my lack of understanding
MySql Workbench reverse engineering is only to obtain the Schema of the database.
If you want to search the database, make backups, obtain the schema and much more then you can use phpMyAdmin. There are some installers which configures the whole system to work with WAMP enviromment and includes it, like Xampp or ZendServer;
Iam a newbie for DB. I have a running database on godaddy's mysql setup. Now i have a new server whose access is not with me. I have to make a file which can install and create new mysql on that server plus it can copy and store specific tables from my current server database too.
I have to give this file to the person who is having the access so that he can execute it and can have all the content. How can i make such a file?
You can use MySQL's mysqldump to take backup of your databases.
Alternatively, You can always backup your database using MySQL GUI tools like SQLyog.
I guess GoDaddy do not allows direct connection for mysqldump to work. In that case you can use SQLyog's HTTP tunneling capability.
Give the generated backup file (created through SQLyog or through mysqldump) to the person who has access and he will upload the file.
Here is the SQLyog's documentation for taking Backup. Select Databases and Tables that you want to backup through wizard.
Hope it helps....
