I’m just trying to create a new MySQL database with a few simple tables.

I created a new EER Model in Workbench so I have the database modeled I want it, with all the tables/fields I need. I don’t see any way to take the model and create an actual database out of it. Right now it just created a .mwb “MySQL Workbench file”.

I saw this question which is outdated as it’s for Workbench (5.2.33) and it talks about “on the left pane there is a section titled ‘Object’ ” which doesn’t appear to exist in (5.2.36).

Does Workbench even have the capabilities to create a database or is it only for connecting/editing existing databases? If Workbench can’t create new databases, what is a simple tool that will?

I’m using MySQL Workbench (5.2.36) on Win 7.

    I believe you want to select the “Database” menu and then select “Forward Engineer“.
