MySQL Workbench provides extensive facilities for working directly with SQL code. Before working directly with a live server, a connection must be created. After a connection is established, it is possible to execute SQL code directly on the server and manipulate the server using SQL code.

The starting point for embarking on SQL Development work is the SQL Development area of the Home window, which has the following action items:

  • Open Connection to start Querying

  • New Connection

  • Edit Table Data

  • Edit SQL Script

  • Manage Connections

The following sections describe each of these action items.

Note

The SQL Development facility in MySQL Workbench provides the functionality that was formerly available in MySQL Query Browser.
