The procedure for launching MySQL Workbench depends on the platform.
Generally, there are two ways to launch MySQL Workbench: either from
the command line or from the graphical user interface of the host
operating system. Using the command-line launching facility is
useful when you want to customize some aspects of the way
MySQL Workbench operates. The following sections describe how to
launch MySQL Workbench for each of the supported platforms.
In addition to platform-specific command-line options, MySQL Workbench
has the following command-line options:
--log-levellevel:
Controls the verbosity level for logging output from
Workbench.
With increasingly levels of verbosity, the valid values for
level are: error, warning, info, debug1,
debug2, and debug3.
The location of the generated log files are as follows: Linux:
~/.mysql/workbench/log/wb.log, Mac:
~/Library/Application
Support/Workbench/log/wb.log, and on Windows:
C:\Users\[your user
id]\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\Workbench\wb.log
--admin instance:
Load the server instance specified.
--query
connection: Load the
connection specified.
--model modelfile:
Load the model specified.
--script script:
Run the script specified.
--run code: Run
the code snippet specified.
--quit-when-done: Quits MySQL Workbench after
--script or --run finishes.
