Code entered in the editor, after copying from a text editor produce a sql error.  yet copying the exact same code into the command line editor run fine.<br />
Is workbench only able to connect to a single database?<br />
It does not allow us to specify a paarticular one anyway.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ The MySQL 9.7.0 Community Edition Early Access (EA) Release build is now available on MySQL Labs. <br />
======================<br />
As part of our continued focus on MySQL Community collaboration, we’re pursuing a three-pronged strategy: <br />
<br />
     1. Deliver innovation by introducing developer-focused features into MySQL Community Edition  <br />
     2. Extend and enrich the ecosystem and adoption  <br />
     3. Increase transparency and encourage broader community participation<br />
     <br />
<br />
What’s new in MySQL 9.7.0 (feature highlights) <br />
======================<br />
The release notes remain the authoritative source for complete details and final behavior. Highlights include: <br />
<br />
    * Flow-control monitoring for MySQL InnoDB Cluster (Group Replication)<br />
    * MySQL JSON Duality Views<br />
    * Hypergraph Optimizer<br />
    * Telemetry (OpenTelemetry / OTLP)<br />
    * Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO)<br />
    * Multi-threaded applier: extended applier statistics (new replication observability tables)<br />
     <br />
Early Access (EA) builds: intended for early feedback <br />
======================<br />
EA builds are pre-GA / developer preview packages meant for testing and feedback before GA. They may change prior to GA and are not intended for production use. <br />
<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Hello,<br />
<br />
I have an issue with a cluster from 3 nodes and Group replication, oracle linux 9.7 and MYSQL CE 8.4.8.<br />
<br />
Every time I restart the mysqld service the read_only and super_read_only remain ON.<br />
<br />
If I check the cluster all nodes are online and primary and no errors (it`s a multi master).<br />
<br />
What`s the problem ?<br />
<br />
I`ve tried to set the /etc/my.cnf with setting:<br />
read_only = OFF<br />
super_read_only = OFF<br />
<br />
<br />
but no success.<br />
<br />
Once I restart mysqld service read_only came back to ON.<br />
<br />
Thank you.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
I’m new to MySQL and learning how to manage databases efficiently. I’ve noticed that some queries, especially when joining tables or filtering large datasets, can be slower than expected.<br />
<br />
I’d love some advice on a few things:<br />
<br />
How to use indexes effectively without slowing down insert/update operations.<br />
<br />
Best practices for writing joins and subqueries to make queries faster.<br />
<br />
Ways to monitor slow queries and find bottlenecks.<br />
<br />
Tips on structuring tables and choosing the right data types for better performance.<br />
<br />
Any guidance, examples, or beginner-friendly tips would be very helpful. I’m eager to learn from the community’s experience and improve my database skills.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for your insights!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I have been trying to figure out how to change a value in a table variable in a MySQL database, but I&#039;ve hit nothing but syntax errors, despite copying and pasting commands from bits I can find. I started at the CLI and couldn&#039;t find the commands to work, so I was going to try with the MySQL Workbench from my PC. I disabled the firewall, changed the binding to allow remote machines to connect, and then tried to grant access from both any machine or just my IP and that&#039;s where the syntax errors came in. Even direct copying and pasting full commands, changing that which needed to be changed resulted in the same syntax errors. <br />
<br />
Ideally, I&#039;d prefer to change it from the mysql cli in Linux as with the right command, that&#039;s probably super simple, the problem is I can&#039;t find the right command. Nothing I&#039;ve found has worked.<br />
<br />
I can get all the way down to looking the variable in the table after selecting the database, but I can&#039;t get further than that.<br />
<br />
mysql&gt; select * from my_variables\G;<br />
*************************** 1. row ***************************<br />
          variable_id: 1<br />
        variable_name: padding_tile<br />
variable_datetime_utc: 2026-02-21 19:04:23<br />
       variable_value: 754<br />
        variable_type: int<br />
<br />
<br />
Could someone please tell me what command I&#039;d need to run to change the &#039;variable_value&#039; of &#039;754&#039; to something else? It seems this should be so simple, but I haven&#039;t been able to find a clear command.]]></description>

I start the program, connect to a remote database and then exit the program.  The program will no longer start from its shortcut.  Task Manager reveals that it’s running as a background task, not as a service, just as a background task.  <br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Could you please advise if anyone has successfully upgraded MySQL Community Edition from 8.0.36 to 8.4?<br />
<br />
We are planning to upgrade from MySQL 8.0.36 (Community Edition) to MySQL 8.4, and before proceeding we would like confirmation/guidance from the MySQL community (or any official references) on the following:<br />
<br />
Whether a direct in-place upgrade from 8.0.36 → 8.4 is supported (or if an intermediate upgrade step/version is recommended).<br />
<br />
Any required pre-upgrade steps or mandatory fixes that should be completed prior to the upgrade.<br />
<br />
Any known issues, upgrade advisories, or common pitfalls for this upgrade path.<br />
<br />
Any deprecated or removed features in MySQL 8.4 that could impact existing workloads.<br />
<br />
Environment details (for context):<br />
<br />
Current version: MySQL 8.0.36 (Community)<br />
<br />
Target version: MySQL 8.4 (Community)<br />
<br />
Platform: [AWS EC2 ] <br />
<br />
Application: Axway B2Bi (application layer already verified compatible with 8.4)<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance for any guidance or links to relevant documentation.]]></description>

            <link>https://forums.mysql.com/read.php?10,741583,741583#msg-741583</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
I am developing a web application using Python with either Flask or Django, and MySQL as the backend database. As the application grows, I want to manage database connections efficiently and avoid opening a new connection for every request.<br />
<br />
I would like to know:<br />
<br />
What is the recommended way to implement MySQL connection pooling in Flask or Django?<br />
<br />
Which libraries or tools work best for connection pooling (SQLAlchemy, mysql-connector, PyMySQL, etc.)?<br />
<br />
How should pool size and timeout values be configured for a production environment?<br />
<br />
Are there any common mistakes or performance issues to watch out for when using connection pooling?<br />
<br />
If possible, sample code snippets or real-world experiences would be very helpful.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for your guidance.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Hello,<br />
<br />
We noticed that the following MySQL artifacts are no longer available in the MySQL Product Archives:<br />
<br />
- MySQL Installer Community MSI 8.0.42<br />
- MySQL Connector/ODBC 9.3.0 MSI<br />
- MySQL Connector/J corresponding to MySQL 8.0.42<br />
<br />
Other surrounding versions such as 8.0.41 and 8.0.43 are still present in the archive, but exactly these versions are missing.<br />
<br />
We were using these versions as prerequisites in our enterprise product installer, and customers are now unable to download them from the official MySQL site.<br />
<br />
Could someone from Oracle or the community please clarify:<br />
<br />
1. Were these artifacts intentionally removed from the archives?<br />
2. Was there any official announcement or document about this removal?<br />
3. Is there any possibility these versions will be restored in the archives?<br />
4. What is the officially recommended replacement version?<br />
<br />
Thank you for your guidance.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I am migrating 6 databases from MySQL 5.7.44 to 8.0.44 and ran into issues with some lacking InnoDB engines.<br />
<br />
I used mysqldump command to export databases to an sql file.<br />
I was able restore only with mysql &lt; database-file.sql.  Nothing else worked.<br />
<br />
Terminal and MySQL workbench worked fine, i can see schemas and tables.<br />
I gracefully shut down the mysql server and rebooted the physical server.<br />
<br />
After restarting the mysql server threw errors.  Some databases, I believe mysql were MySAM engine.  They need to be InnoDB engine.<br />
<br />
I am starting the 3 day import again into a clean installation.<br />
I will hold off on the reboot.<br />
<br />
Can I alter if running?<br />
How can I alter tables after import?<br />
<br />
Is there a better way to backup mysql 5.7 databases for easier 8.0 import?<br />
<br />
All the documentation I read recommends mysqldump.  Never a mention of converting engines.<br />
<br />
Thank YOu.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ # Fix para HTTPS en MySQL Workbench<br />
<br />
## Problema<br />
El módulo SSL de Python en MySQL Workbench no puede cargar `libssl.3.dylib` debido a que la aplicación usa &quot;hardened runtime&quot; en macOS.<br />
<br />
Error:<br />
```<br />
dlopen(.../_ssl.cpython-312-darwin.so, 0x0002): Library not loaded: libssl.3.dylib<br />
Reason: tried: &#039;libssl.3.dylib&#039; (relative path not allowed in hardened program)<br />
```<br />
<br />
## Solución<br />
Modificar el archivo `wb_utils_grt.py` para usar `curl` en lugar del módulo SSL de Python.<br />
<br />
## Archivo a modificar<br />
`/Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/Resources/plugins/wb_utils_grt.py`<br />
<br />
## Cambios a aplicar<br />
<br />
### Cambio 1: Líneas ~590-600 (importación de SSL)<br />
<br />
**ANTES:**<br />
```python<br />
self.is_running = True<br />
try:<br />
    import urllib.request, urllib.error, urllib.parse<br />
    import json<br />
    import base64<br />
    import ssl<br />
```<br />
<br />
**DESPUÉS:**<br />
```python<br />
self.is_running = True<br />
try:<br />
    import urllib.request, urllib.error, urllib.parse<br />
    import json<br />
    import base64<br />
    <br />
    # Check if SSL module is available<br />
    ssl_available = False<br />
    try:<br />
        import ssl<br />
        ssl_available = True<br />
    except (ImportError, OSError):<br />
        # SSL module not available, will use curl as fallback<br />
        pass<br />
```<br />
<br />
### Cambio 2: Líneas ~717-760 (petición HTTPS)<br />
<br />
**ANTES:**<br />
```python<br />
urllib.request.install_opener(opener)<br />
<br />
self.json = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(&quot;<a href="https://workbench.mysql.com/current-release&quot"  rel="nofollow">https://workbench.mysql.com/current-release&quot</a>;))<br />
```<br />
<br />
**DESPUÉS:**<br />
```python<br />
urllib.request.install_opener(opener)<br />
<br />
# Try to fetch update information<br />
url = &quot;<a href="https://workbench.mysql.com/current-release&quot"  rel="nofollow">https://workbench.mysql.com/current-release&quot</a>;<br />
<br />
# First, try using curl as it has its own SSL/TLS support<br />
try:<br />
    import subprocess<br />
    result = subprocess.run([&#039;curl&#039;, &#039;-s&#039;, &#039;-L&#039;, url], <br />
                          capture_output=True, <br />
                          text=True, <br />
                          timeout=10)<br />
    if result.returncode == 0 and result.stdout:<br />
        self.json = json.loads(result.stdout)<br />
    else:<br />
        raise Exception(&quot;curl failed or returned empty response&quot;)<br />
except Exception as curl_error:<br />
    # Fallback to urllib if curl fails<br />
    if not ssl_available:<br />
        raise Exception(&quot;HTTPS support is not available.\n\n&quot;<br />
                       &quot;The SSL module cannot be loaded and curl is not available.\n&quot;<br />
                       &quot;You can check for updates manually at:\n&quot;<br />
                       &quot;<a href="https://www.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/&quot"  rel="nofollow">https://www.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/&quot</a>;)<br />
    <br />
    try:<br />
        context = ssl._create_unverified_context()<br />
        self.json = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(url, context=context))<br />
    except AttributeError:<br />
        self.json = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(url))<br />
    except urllib.error.URLError as e:<br />
        error_msg = str(e)<br />
        if &#039;unknown url type: https&#039; in error_msg or &#039;CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED&#039; in error_msg:<br />
            raise Exception(&quot;HTTPS support is not available.\n&quot;<br />
                           &quot;You can check for updates manually at:\n&quot;<br />
                           &quot;<a href="https://www.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/&quot"  rel="nofollow">https://www.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/&quot</a>;)<br />
        else:<br />
            raise<br />
```<br />
<br />
## Cómo funciona la solución<br />
<br />
1. **Detección de SSL**: Intenta importar el módulo `ssl` pero captura el error sin fallar<br />
2. **Uso de curl**: Usa `curl` (que tiene su propio soporte SSL/TLS) como método principal<br />
3. **Fallback a urllib**: Si curl falla y SSL está disponible, intenta con urllib<br />
4. **Mensajes claros**: Proporciona mensajes de error informativos al usuario<br />
<br />
## Ventajas<br />
<br />
- ✅ No requiere modificar binarios del sistema<br />
- ✅ No requiere deshabilitar SIP<br />
- ✅ No requiere enlaces simbólicos de bibliotecas<br />
- ✅ Usa herramientas del sistema (curl) que tienen SSL integrado<br />
- ✅ Mantiene compatibilidad si SSL funciona en futuras versiones<br />
<br />
## Aplicar después de actualizar<br />
<br />
Si MySQL Workbench se actualiza y el problema persiste, simplemente vuelve a aplicar estos cambios al nuevo archivo `wb_utils_grt.py`.<br />
<br />

- Timestamped updates<br />
<br />
I’m unsure whether a single table with indexed ZIP codes is enough,<br />
or if partitioning by state/date would be better for performance.<br />
<br />
Any advice on schema design or indexing strategies would be appreciated.<br />
Thanks!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Hello,<br />
I would like to propagate using mysql.shell util.dump tools in developers&#039; area (to migrate tables or databases). It&#039;s nice tool and it has many advantages... but, I cannot do this because of this error:<br />
<br />
ERROR: Unable to check privileges for user &#039;user&#039;@&#039;localhost&#039;. User requires SELECT privilege on mysql.* to obtain information about all roles.<br />
<br />
For specific user, who is not administrator, I cannot give reading mysql schema privilege due security reason. <br />
I don&#039;t see also any workaround. <br />
<br />
Why for dumping single table or even schema, there is a need read whole mysql schema? <br />
<br />
For mysqldump it&#039;s not needed. <br />
<br />
Any tips how to use these tools by non-administrative accounts? <br />
If not, then it&#039;s useless for devs.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I found this issue when migrating servers in 2025/11. I migrated mysql to a server with almost the same configuration. The version is 5.7.44. There are some specific SQL sessions that are particularly long. However, this problem does not occur with the same data and the same SQL statement on other servers, and I tried to revert to 5.7.40 and still has this problem.<br />
<a href="https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/87089/full-text-search-results-in-a-large-amount-of-time-spent-in-fulltext-initializa"  rel="nofollow">https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/87089/full-text-search-results-in-a-large-amount-of-time-spent-in-fulltext-initializa</a><br />
My question is almost the same. And all tried. There are still problems. The queried table has 1000w pieces of data.<br />
<br />
For example, this one.<br />
select id from problem WHERE MATCH (problem_text) AGAINST (&#039;下面关于Android操作系统的描述中，正确的是&#039; IN BOOLEAN MODE) and is_del = 0 limit 5; <br />
 FULLTEXT initialization has 200s. But when I switch to NATURAL LANGUAGE MODE, I don&#039;t have this problem. But NATURAL LANGUAGE MODE is too poor at matching short texts]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Bonjour,<br />
<br />
J&#039;essaie de connecter mon script PHP (explain.php) à ma base de données MySQL locale (via XAMPP). Je reçois une erreur Access denied for user &#039;mjvincent&#039;@&#039;localhost&#039;.<br />
<br />
Voici l&#039;erreur complète :<br />
<br />
Fatal error: Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: Access denied for user &#039;beni88&#039;@&#039;localhost&#039; (using password: YES) in C:\xampp\htdocs\lesson1\explain.php:17 ...<br />
J&#039;ai confirmé que le nom d&#039;utilisateur et le mot de passe que j&#039;utilise dans mysqli_connect() sont bien ceux que j&#039;ai définis.<br />
<br />
Si le mot de passe est bon, l&#039;erreur suggère-t-elle que l&#039;utilisateur mjvincent :<br />
<br />
N&#039;a pas été correctement créé pour l&#039;hôte localhost ?<br />
<br />
Existe, mais ne possède pas les permissions GRANT nécessaires pour accéder à la base de données CustomerDatabase ?<br />
<br />
Quelles requêtes dois-je exécuter dans la console MySQL (ou phpMyAdmin) pour vérifier l&#039;existence et les privilèges exacts de cet utilisateur afin de corriger le problème ?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I have a large mySQL Db table that contain cemetery burial information. One field contains military information about service branch and campaigns (e.g., Korea, Vietnam).<br />
<br />
Using a string search value with %...% works fine for most of the campaigns. But, searching for %World War I% also selects the records containing &#039;World War II&#039;. Thus, I changed the search to use a REGEXP &#039;\bWorld War I\b&#039; but this returns zero records.<br />
<br />
This is the code...<br />
<br />
SELECT * FROM memorials<br />
LEFT JOIN cemeteries ON cem_id = per_cemid<br />
WHERE per_cemid = 134<br />
AND (per_mil_inscription REGEXP &#039;\bWorld War I\b&#039;<br />
 OR  per_mil_notes REGEXP &#039;\bWorld War I\b&#039;)<br />
<br />
The code doesn&#039;t work in my PHP code and doesn&#039;t work in a cPanel SQL query.<br />
<br />
What am I doing wrong?<br />
<br />
TIA for any assistance]]></description>
