NEWBIE Question - i.e - MySql WorkBench/Database Migration

[b h]

Hello world...

Thank you, in advance, for any and all guidance. I have been cramming/learning all things SQL for months now and recently bought the 'SQL Queries: for Mere Mortals' Version 3 book. In it, it suggests to download MySql so that the reader can import the Sample Databases into it and complete various exercises etc. I also downloaded the MySql WorkBench.

I have a 2014 MAC 2.7 GhZ Intel Core i5/ 8g 1600 mhz.

Bottomline, I am unable to drag, import, migrate the sqlscripts etc into the MySql Workbench to work on. I have read and researched and I'm stuck. I simply just want to be able to complete the exercises/problem sets in the book. The

What am I doing wrong or not doing at all?

Thanks a million for any tips/advice
