MySQL Workbench FAQ
Contents |
[edit] General Questions
- 1. How do you close a workspace? (There is an open command but no close command)
- 2. How do you edit a note when in simple mode? (no edit button) double clicking or right clicking to edit might be nice
- 3. How do I delete a column? (the delete option on right-click is greyed out).
[edit] Windows Specific
Any ideas when Workbench will be released in a stable version? DBDesigner is frozen at MySQL Version 4 and I would really like to take advantage of what looks like a great tool.
[edit] Linux Specific
[edit] How do I build Workbench in Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris/Whatever?
Please refer to Building MySQL GUI Tools on Linux.
[edit] How do I know if I have OpenGL enabled in Linux?
To know if you have OpenGL enabled, you can run:
$ xdpyinfo|grep -i glx GLX NV-GLX
If it prints GLX, then you do have OpenGL enabled in the X server. If not, you may need to make the X server load the GLX module in the configuration file. With a text editor, open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and locate something like:
Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "fbdevhw" Load "record" Load "freetype" Load "type1" EndSection
Add the line:
Load "glx"
to that section, before the EndSection line. You will need to restart X to make the change take effect.
If you have an NVidia graphics card, you may want to install their proprietary Linux drivers to get better performance.
