Just starting got setup with MySQL workbench on windows to connect to a remote MySQL server. Connection is ok. Can create tables, add data, delete data. Then I found MySQL for Excel and see from
http://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/windows/excel/edit/ that it says users can:
"Delete existing rows - users can delete existing rows the same way they would delete a row in MS Excel, the row is deleted from the worksheet and flagged for deletion."
But when I try to do this, the tool just things I modified a row and it complains about reusing primary keys.
Then I see in the FAQ:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/mysql-for-excel-faq.html
"27.6.2: I click on Edit Data and after importing the table data into Excel, I can't sort or move columns around. How can I do that?
In order to maintain the mapping of rows and columns in the Excel Worksheet against the rows and columns in the MySQL table, no alteration is permitted on the worksheet (i.e. sorting, deleting rows, deleting columns). If you need to alter the data there you can do that by right-clicking the Edit Data window and selecting Exit Edit Mode."
So should I be able to delete a row or not with the MYSQL for Excel tool? I am using MySQL Installer 5.6.15.
Thanks,
Johnnie
