For MySQL server relational databases, MySQL Workbench is a visual database creating and modeling access tool. With reverse/forward engineering and change management features, it is easier to create new physical data models and modify old MySQL databases.

MySQL Workbench aims to offer an interface that makes working with databases easier and more organized.

Steps to view the table:

  • Open the Home Window

    Launching the MySQL Workbench is the first step. This is referred to as the Home Window.

  • Open New Connection Wizard

    The following step is to construct your MySQL Server Connection, which includes information about the target database server and instructions for connecting to it.

    In the MySQL Workbench Home Window, click +. The Setup New Connection Wizard will then launch.

  • Select the option for Configure Server Management

    You can establish a connection for a locally installed server even if you’re a newbie.

  • Click on Test Connection

    The following step is to set up a connection that will allow you to connect to the server. You can use the default values if you haven’t already formed a connection.

    After entering the Connection, click Test Connection.

  • Click OK

    You’ll receive a new dialogue box asking for the root or chosen user’s password. You may utilize the Store in Vault option to input the password for your MySQL root user if it has one. Select OK.

    The next screen will appear if the user’s password entry is accurate. Once you have clicked both OK buttons, you are ready to proceed.

  • Select Database

    Click on schema after a successful connection. Choose the database of your choice.

    The tables will all be inside when it opens.
