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;

I have a MySQL database contains large amount of data.
I wanted to write a C# service program to migrate that data into SQL Server database.(Service should work fine with Insert as well as update with out performance issue).
Please help us if there is a way to accomplish this. If there is another way to achieve this is also fine. But, the MySQL client is not present in the local machine. But we could access the database from the server.
You can use the import and export functions in sqlserver, after installing a odbc mysql
I have recently started using MySQL Workbench, hence I apologise if this is not the proper platform to ask this question. I tried to figure out the solution of my own, but could not find any appropriate one.
Here is my situation: At my workplace, we have a huge set of data about the operational and financial figures such as sales, employee, profit, etc for European companies spread over past 7-8 years and new data keeps coming regularly. However, the problem is we work from different remote locations, me in one city and the other two colleagues in a different city. Normally, we share our work files (.xls/.doc) etc through Dropbox. So, we thought of creating a database in MySQL wherein we all can submit/edit/add this data so that we can filter and analyse this data on several ways once the collection is complete. And we plan to use and access it thereafter. We believe that this is ease a lot of our work. So all I want to know is: can all three of us collaborate simultaeousy (in order to add or edit the data) through workbench Server administration, like the way we collaborate our work through Dropbox? I want to be the host (like the administrator) and then want to allow the access to my colleagues.
Thank you for your time and answer. You may also refer me to any site or link to read more about it.
I think you are a bit confused about what MySQL Workbench is.
MySQL workbench is just a data viewer and administration tool that connects to a MySQL server, there's no data "stored" in MySQL workbench, all the data is stored in the server.
MySQL workbench can:
Connect to a MySQL server
Send SQL instructions and show the results: You can create and drop databases, send SQL queries, create and execute stored procedures and functions... all assuming you have the right privileges.
Perform administration tasks: You can create and drop users, grant or revoke permissions, etcétera
But the fact is: all is stored in a MySQL server... so the answer to your question is: Yes, you can work simmultaneously with your colleagues, if and only if all of you can connect to the same database server (as Mike W commented).
Addressing your comments, and clarifying more details:
MySQL is a database server. When you install it in a computer, all data is stored in that computer (aside from replication and other fine details). You should make regular backups of your data (MySQL has tools for that, one is mysqldump). If you want to access the data stored in your database server, you can do it:
By ussing the command-line client,
By using MySQL workbench or another GUI client program, or
By any program that can connect to the database server (via ODBC or specific libraries).
Focusing on MySQL Workbench, and addressing your specific question: If your machine breaks down, you can install the MySQL Server in any other machine, and load the backup into it. You will have to configure that new machine so that any of your coworkers can connect to it (that may imply that a new set of connection parameters is created).
i'm using myaql database for my website which is in my computer.
I'm trying to transfer the database to another computer but I can't find any mysql database file...
My question is if it is possible and how can I do it? (Is there any simple way?)
MYSQL DUMP
It can be used to dump a database or a collection of databases for backup or transfer to another SQL server (not necessarily a MySQL server).
I've instaled MySQL workbench in Windows 7 64bit. Unfortunately, I'm facing problems:
In the Object Browser, when I click on my DB and right click on tables to create one, I can not insert any column (disabled) and therefore, can not insert tables. check this:
Can not create table in MySQL workbench 5.2.40
I can create table from the EER model. But even though, I faced problems when tried to connect my Java application to this database.
MySQL and Java: table doesn't exist
I have searched, and not sure from this, some of what I found is that workbench have probelms with Windows 7 - 64 bit (any idea if this is correct??). The only version I found was for 68, it installed successfully but I'm having probems.
I want to downlod MySQL server but before that: Will Mysql Server give me the same features that the workbench does? I need to work with GUI (insert, delete, update,..etc).
EDIT:
Also, the table I added using the EER are not visible in the Object browser. I only can see the schema in the Object browser without any table underneath it.
MySQL Workbench is a MySQL Server GUI. The two are different products. MySQL Workbench requires a MySQL Server connection for most tasks (except for data modeling). This reliance on a MySQL connection is clearer in the latest version of MySQL Workbench (6.1) than it was in 5.2.
MySql Workbench and MySql Server both are completely different things. MySql Server is basically a database and MySql workbench is a GUI or graphical management tool which helps us interact with MySql server database.
Similarly, SQL Server Management Studio is the graphical management tool for SQL Server.
Both are for manipulate the structure, queries and function, procedure, etc....
In Both you can Use DML and DDL
If you ask me I love Server even if you can create really cool designs on workbench, but basically you can do the same in both (insert, delete, update,..etc and more)
So it's up to you, I think MySQL server is a little bit lighter that Workbench, but if you want to, try it both.
Workbench looks like more friendly
I have a software dumping values to a local SQL Express database once a day. What I really need is this data in an online MySQL database. The software cannot be reconfigured to save to a different database setup.
Is there any way of linking the two and having any updates to the local database sent to the MySQL database?
Thanks,
Joe
Do you have access to the server the software sits on? I would create a script and a scheduled task that is on the server, and pulls from one and pushes to the other. This would allow you to code and configure some sort of fail safe mechanism should one or the other be down. Otherwise one other option is to add a trigger for the SQL server for inserts/updates, and configure a MySQL DSN:
