I am trying to export the DataBase i have at MySQL Workbench but I am having troubles to generate the INSERT statements on the .sql file.
I order to export the data, I do the reverse engineering for the database i want to export. Then, i go to
File / Export/ Forward Engineer SQL CREATE Script
And once in there, i select the option Generate INSERT Statements for Tables.
The result only generates the code for the create tables.
Is there any way to create the insert statements for the data?
Thanks
For older versions:
Open MySQL Workbench > Home > Manage Import / Export (Right bottom) / Select Required DB > Advance Exports Options Tab >Complete Insert [Checked] > Start Export.
For 6.1 and beyond, thanks to ryandlf:
Click the management tab (beside schemas) and choose Data Export.
I had some problems to find this option in newer versions, so for Mysql Workbench 6.3, go to schemas and enter in your connection:
Go to Tools -> Data Export
Click on Advanced Options
Scroll down and uncheck extended-inserts
Then export the data you want and you will see the result file as this:
You can do it using mysqldump tool in command-line:
mysqldump your_database_name > script.sql
This creates a file with database create statements together with insert statements.
More info about options for mysql dump: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysqldump-sql-format.html
If you want to export just single table, or subset of data from some table, you can do it directly from result window:
Click export button:
Change Save as type to "SQL Insert statements"
In MySQL Workbench 6.1.
I had to click on the Apply changes button in the insertion panel (only once, because twice and MWB crashes...).
You have to do it for each of your table.
Then export your schema :
Check Generate INSERT statements for table
It is okay !
Go to Menu Server and Click on Data Export. There you can select the table and select the option Dump Structure and Data' from the drop-down.
For the latest version of MySql Workbench
Click on the Server menu in the top menu bar
Select 'Data Export' submenu
It will open up the Object Selection window where you can select the appropriate database which has the desired tables
Once you select the database in the left side all the tables will appear in the right side with radio buttons
Select the radio buttons in front of needed tables
Just below the table selection you can see a dropdown to select Dump Structure Only or Data only or Structure & Data
Under Objects to Export tick the box if you need stored procedures or events also. If you don't need those then untick those
Under export option change the exporting file name and path
If you want to create the schema once you import the dump file then tick include create schema
Press Start Export button in the right-hand side corner. once it successful the summary will be showing in the Export progress tab

I am using the Data Export functionality to create a dump of a database in MySQL Workbench. Once I select the database, I want to select a subset of the tables on the right side in the screenshot. However, the list of tables is not displayed. How do I make a single-file dump of a subset of tables of a database?
Click on one row and you see the tables
It may sound dumb from me, but have you tried to click on the database choosen, not just check it.
Try to click the name of the database.
I have a database called my_old_db which consists of some tables , now how to create copy of of this Database including tables with new name as my_new_db .
I have tried the following Query
CREATE TABLE my_new_db .Tab1 LIKE my_old_db .Tab1;
INSERT INTO my_new_db .Tab1 SELECT * FROM my_old_db .Tab1;
But in my old table i Have nearly 30 tables , taking more time to copy
Dont know the good approach.
Any guidence would be really appretiated.
Thank you.
You can do this by import/export database
for that first you need to export database my_old_db and then create database my_new_db and import the old database my_old_db
If you are using phpmyadmin.
For Export :
In phpMyAdmin, select your database from the list on the left. (select my_old_db)
Click on "Export" from the top set of tabs.
Select Export Method Quick (default).
Click the "Go" button towards the bottom of the page.
Save the File in you local desktop.
For Import :
Create new my_new_db database
In phpMyAdmin, select your database from the list on the left.
Click on "Import" from the top set of tabs.
Click on the "Choose File" button.
Browse to your local SQL file and click "Open."
Click the "Go" button towards the bottom of the page.

From menu select Server->Data export, then choos your schema from left pane and then tables from right pane. From drop down menu select Dump Data Only. Click on Start Export button to export your data.
How to take database backup using MySQL Workbench? Can we take backup in the following ways-
Backup file(.sql) contains both Create Table statements and Insert into Table Statements
Backup file(.sql) contains only Create Table Statements, not Insert into Table statements for all tables
Backup file(.sql) contains only Insert into Table Statements, not Create Table statements for all tables
For Workbench 6.0
Open MySql workbench.
To take database backup you need to create New Server Instance(If not available) within Server Administration.
Steps to Create New Server Instance:
Select New Server Instance option within Server Administrator.
Provide connection details.
After creating new server instance , it will be available in Server Administration list. Double click on Server instance you have created OR Click on Manage Import/Export option and Select Server Instance.
Now, From DATA EXPORT/RESTORE select DATA EXPORT option,Select Schema and Schema Object for backup.

In Window in new version you can export like this
The Data Export function in MySQL Workbench allows 2 of the 3 ways. There's a checkbox Skip Table Data (no-data) on the export page which allows to either dump with or without data. Just dumping the data without meta data is not supported.
In Workbench 6.3 it is supereasy:
On the "HOME"-view select one of the MySQL Connections: (localhost)
In the "Localhost" view click on "Server"--> "Data export"
In the "Data Export" view select the table(s) and whether you want to export only their structure, or structure and data,...
Click "Start Export"
In workbench 6.0
Connect to any of the database.
You will see two tabs.
1.Management
2. Schemas
By default Schemas tab is selected.
Select Management tab
then select Data Export .
You will get list of all databases.
select the desired database and and the file name and ther options you wish and start export.
You are done with backup.
I am using MySQL Workbench 8.0:
In Workbench 6.3 go to Server menu and then Choose Data Export. The dialog that comes up allows you to do all three things you want.
Why I cannot alter my schema name from the MYSQL Workbench? Am i missing something? :(
As you can the name is dissabled
There is no RENAME available for schema names. You will have to export the schema, then import with a new database name.
This is a limitation of the MySQL server itself.
Actually, you can rename database name very easily,
go to the top menu -> Database -> reverse engineering, select your database and keep go further until you get the er diagram of your database,
after the there is an area called Catalog Area under that you can see your database name, right click on that and select edit schema. and change your database name
now again go to the top menu -> database -> forward engineering and completed the database engineering using the wizard.
I can't imagine that anyone is still using version 5.5, but here is the procedure I followed in version 8. If you do have an older/newer version this may still work.
Connect to the database.
Open the Database menu and choose Migration Wizard.
Start Migration.
Both source and target will be the current MySQL server.
Select the schema you want to rename.
For Source Objects make sure all the tables are selected.
Click Next and you will see a message that the source and target are the same.
Now you should see a "Manual Editing" step.
Under the Target Object column, click on the database name and change it.
Now you can click next all the way through.
Once finished you will have a newly renamed schema.
Currently my database has no indexes, stored procedures, etc. You will
want to confirm all related objects are migrated as well before
dropping the old database.
Gavin is right, but if your server have phpMyAdmin, you can use it to rename your database (schema):
Go to your phpMyAdmin URL. Default is http://yourdomain.com/phpMyAdmin/
If prompted, enter your database username and password.
Click on "Operations" tab.
Under "Rename database to:" write your new database name.
Click "Go" button.
If prompted, click "OK".
After some seconds, depending on your database content, you will have your database renamed.
What phpMyAdmin is actually doing is create a new database with your new name, import the content from your current database and delete your current database.
