Re: New to MySQL Workbench - how can I start? Please help.
Hi,
for pure modeling you don't need a pyhsical database server. Just design your model and save it as usual. Later open the mwb file again for further fine tuning. As long as you don't need to have the design to become a real schema you don't need a server either.
If you want that one day then yes, download a server package or, if you are on Windows, the Windows installer, which comes with an easy to use UI checking also for necessary prerequisites like the x86 C++ runtim and .NET 4.0 client profile (needed by WB, but that must be installed manually if not already done).
For tutorials just google around. Read also the stickies in this forum, especially the one about Youtube videos.
