i have observed that workbench has an option called history, which is giving all my db operations in day wise, i want to know from where it is getting, i mean is mysql is maintaining any table internally. I need to update the databse everyday to my client so it will be useful to me, Please help
If anyone still needs this the history is stored (at least in Windows 7) in UserFolder\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\Workbench\sql_history in separate XML files for each day.
For mac users, you can find the history files at
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MySQL/Workbench/sql_history
Though the history file stored there only has some dates in it(Seems like Workbench is using it for some indexing.... not sure though). If you need actual history with queries you can check the log files at
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MySQL/Workbench/log/
I think that regarding this http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-history-palette.html the Workbench history is kept from what you acctually execute in the workbench and it is not taking this data from the MySQL server.
Is is a log of queries that you have run in Workbench.
Also "Like the mysql command line client utility, MySQL Workbench has a full history panel, which provides complete session history. This makes it very easy for a user to review, re-run and modify previously executed SQL statement(s). Along with that, multiple queries can be executed at the same time while their results can be viewed in individual tabs. You can also have multiple SQL tabs open at the same time."

I have databases in my system and also put database on web server also, so when I update my system database data I ll have to then replace or add data into web database.
but
problem is that I am doing changes in database to some specific record frequently for testing purpose.
So I want some mechanism that will used to export some specific records to sql file with insert statement.
Suppose I have made change in table tbl1 and added 10 records to it.
So right now I am manually adding or replacing whole table on web database.
So is there any mechanism in MySql or in Workbench using that I can export specific records.
Any Help for that.
The only automatic solution is to use replication, but that is probably not a good solution for your scenario. So what remains is some manual process. Here are some ideas:
Write a script that writes specific records into a dump file.
Then use a different script to load this dump file into your
target server.
If you frequently change the same records you could create a script
with insert statements that you edit for each new value and run
against both your local and your remote (web) server.
I am developing an application using Django framework. As you may know the workflow is you first describe your objects in Python classes and then you synchronize the database.
I made a MySQL Workbench EER diagram. Since then I continued to develop the application, so the database model is not updated in the EER diagram nor the MySQL Workbench model.
I tried to synchronize it using the built-in feature "Synchronize with Any Source" of MySQL Workbench, but this feature is not working for some reason and causes a segmentation fault. The queries to be executed inside the MySQL Workbench model are displayed but at the last step I get an empty SQL alter script. I tried manually copying the queries in that script and clicking the "Execute" button, but I had no luck with that. I think MySQL stores queries internally. Anyway. I submitted the bug to MySQL Workbench developers here and now it is fixed, but not yet released. I am now looking for a workaround while waiting for the next release.
Although I have a specific problem, the question remains generic.
Is it possible to execute queries on the MySQL Workbench model in order to alter it?
Did you try the "Forward Engineer" option? It allows you to reflect all the changes that were made to your table relations directly to the database which is a pretty useful functionality.
There are some catches though like the inability to maintain existing data every time forward engineering is performed however this can be compensated by entering some example data which will be shipped with the ER diagram the next time you perform "Forward engineer".
I'm using Mysql workbench to develop my database for my application.
I use at least two databases,for example:
my_local : my local testing database that it's always synchronized with mysql workbench
myserver_database : the final database in the server,keep in mind that this database is in production and users WILL update it and i can't loose any information stored into it.
Now i can synchronyze my database every time i want but i can't find a way to update the scheme to the final server because they have different names,i get something like:
my_local => N/A
N/A <= myserver_database
in the past i simply renamed the database in mysql workbench but it doesen't seem to work anymore,probably because of a bug.
I want to be able to synchronize the same workbench scheme with different databases,regardless of the database name,i didn't find a way to force the database name even by modifying the default_scheme.
Please keep in mind i'll do it a lot of times so it's better to avoid triky or dangerous solutions if possible.
I know this question is quite old but I was able to do this on workbench 5.2.40 and there are not many updated resources online explaining how.
First I got a script of my old database:
mysqldump -no-data myolddb > script.sql
(I only want to synch the schemas, this can be done on the workbench too)
now the trick is to modify the script by adding use mynewdb; as its first line, this way the workbench won't say N/A or default schema nonsense.
On the workbench I created a EER model of mynewdb which is on my server, and then "Database->Synchronize with any source" and select from "model Schemadata" to "Script file" in the wizard using the script I modified initially. And then the Synch wizard worked like it should.
I just deleted two days of work because I though I had a backup, but I didn't. Now I need to create the database from scratch and I just wonder, isn't there a built-in backup system, just in case of someone being stupid? It's running on localhost and I haven't exported it out before.
If you've had binary logging enabled, then you might be lucky enough to use it to restore your database.
Note: If you ask me 'how do I know if I had binary logging enabled?' this pretty much means you didn't, because it's disabled by default.
There are several options. They're covered in detail at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/backup-and-recovery.html
If you are developing some kind of app, I'd also recommend to store your DB structure in your version control system together with your source code.
No.
Computers will do anything you command them to - but it is your responsibility to know what you're doing.
In this way, "if you wanted backups, you would have made them" - power-user tools (such as databases) are optimized for performance, not for being user-proof.
Install the MySQL Workbench:-
On left side panel (i.e. under the Administration section), you will find the option to "Data Import/Restore".
On click, you will land on the Data Import. Select the option "Import from Dump Project Folder" and then select the file based on TimeStamp of that duration when the database was deleted.
Click on "Load Folder Content"
Select database object to import, check whether the deleted database is visible or not.
If visible then select all the tables and click on start import button.
If not visible then start with step 2 again and one by one select all the dump files.
At least I was able to recover all my database which accidentally got deleted during the database restore (i.e. initialization process).
This has saved my weeks of effort.
I want to take the whole database. Where do I find the database file?
And is there a way to write the whole database with all data to a text file (like the one in SQL Server)?
How to generate SQL scripts for your database in Workbench
In Workbench Central (the default "Home" tab) connect to your MySQL instance, opening a SQL Editor tab.
Click on the SQL Editor tab and select your database from the SCHEMAS list in the Object Browser on the left.
From the menu select Database > Reverse Engineer and follow the prompts. The wizard will lead you through connecting to your instance, selecting your database, and choosing the types of objects you want to reverse engineer.
When you're all done, you will have at least one new tab called MySQL Model. You may also have a tab called EER Diagram which is cool but not relevant here.
Click in the MySQL Model tab
Select Database > Forward Engineer
Follow the prompts. Many options present themselves, including Generate INSERT Scripts for Tables which allows you to script out the data contained within your tables (perfect for lookup tables).
Soon you will see the generated script in front of you. At this point you can Copy to Clipboard or Save to Text File.
The wizard will take you further, but if you just want the script you can stop here.
A word of caution: the scripts are generated with CREATE commands. If you want ALTER you'll have to (as far as I can tell) manually change the CREATEs to ALTERs.
This is guaranteed to work, I just did it tonight.
Q#1: I would guess that it's somewhere on your MySQL server?
Q#2: Yes, this is possible. You have to establish a connection via Server Administration. There you can clone any table or the entire database.

In MySQL Workbench 6, commands have been repositioned as the "Server Administration" tab is gone.
You now find the option "Data Export" under the "Management" section when you open a standard server connection.
there is data export option in MySQL workbech
I found this question by searching Google for "mysql workbench export database sql file". The answers here did not help me, but I eventually did find the answer, so I am posting it here for future generations to find:
Answer
In MySQLWorkbench 6.0, do the following:
Select the appropriate database under MySQL Connections
On the top-left hand side of screen, under the MANAGEMENT heading, select "Data Export".
Here is a screenshot for reference:
None of these worked for me. I'm using Mac OS 10.10.5 and Workbench 6.3. What worked for me is Database->Migration Wizard... Flow the steps very carefully
In the top menu of MySQL Workbench click on database and then on forward engineer. In the options menu with which you will be presented, make sure to have "generate insert statements for tables" set.
Try the export function of phpMyAdmin.
I think there is also a possibility to copy the database files from one server to another, but I do not have a server available at the moment so I can't test it.
Using Windows 10 and MySql Workbench 8.0
Go to Server tab
Go to Database Export
This opens up something like this
Select the schema to export in the Tables to export
Click the button Start Export
Surprisingly the Data Export in the MySql Workbench is not just for data, in fact it is ideal for generating SQL scripts for the whole database (including views, stored procedures and functions) with just a few clicks. If you want just the scripts and no data simply select the "Skip table data" option. It can generate separate files or a self contained file. Here are more details about the feature: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-mysql-connections-navigator-management-data-export.html
in mysql workbench server>>>>>>export Data
then follow instructions it will generate insert statements for all tables data each table will has .sql file for all its contained data
