Database Reference
In-Depth Information
■
The rightmost tab is a History tab that maintains a history of executed
SQL statements. This is useful when you need to test different ver-
sions of SQL statements.
■
You can have multiple SQL Editor windows open at the same time,
each in its own tab, allowing you to work with multiple databases or
SQL statements at once.
Note
Execute Saved Scripts You can use MySQL Workbench to execute saved scripts—the
scripts used to create and populate the tables used throughout this topic, for example.
To do this, select File, Open Script; select the script (which will be displayed in a new
tab); and click the Execute button. Appendix B walks you through this process for the
chapters in this topic.
In this chapter, you learned exactly what MariaDB is. You were also intro-
duced to two client utilities (one included command line utility, and one
optional but highly recommended graphical utility).
