     * A new check box was added to the dialog for resetting an

       and 8.0.20 server language features:

          + Table values constructor.

          + Short table select syntax.

          + New requirements for the CHANGE MASTER replication
            statement (row format, primary key check).

          + Failed login attempts and password lock time in
            ALTER USER statements.

          + Format support for EXPLAIN ANALYZE statements.

Bugs Fixed


     * MySQL Workbench Migration Wizard encountered type -154
       (SQL_SS_TIME2) while copying Microsoft SQL Server tables, and it
       returned an error on the unhandled type. This fix adds the
       following new SQL data types to the wizard: SQL_SS_TIME2
       (supported by MySQL) and SQL_SS_TIMESTAMPOFFSET (not supported).
       (Bug #30884140)

     * The TableRead, TableInsert, TableUpdate, and TableDelete
       events for each table touched by a query did not include complete
       information in the Audit Inspector. (Bug #30807539)

     * Valid TABLE and VALUES statements were identified as
       having syntax errors in the SQL editor. (Bug #30775372,
       Bug #98266, Bug #30775008, Bug #98263)

     * MySQL accounts created during the prerequisite setup
       using the Create MEB Account button were not granted sufficient
       privilege to schedule an online backup or to execute a full
       backup on Windows. (Bug #30774786)

     * The Table Data Import Wizard returned an error when used
       to import a large JSON file, rather than loading the file.
       (Bug #30733445)

     * Text selected in the SQL editor was blocked by the
       highlight color. (Bug #30369329, Bug #97070)

     * A change made to the CREATE statement to rename an
       existing stored procedure did not revise the corresponding name
       in the generated DROP PROCEDURE statement when the change was
       applied using the editor.  This fix modifies the generated
       statement to no longer drop the original stored procedure after
       it is renamed.  (Bug #30103689, Bug #96289)

     * On Windows, statements that do not generate a result set,
       such as INSERT or UPDATE statements, caused MySQL Workbench to
       close unexpectedly after the EXPLAIN operation was executed and
       then the Result Grid output type was selected. (Bug #27576669,
       Bug #89745)

     * Although the installation and file path were valid, MySQL
       Workbench did not find the ogr2ogr and ogrinfo files when loading
       spatial data. (Bug #26447395, Bug #87074)

     * A column created with NULL ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(6)
       prevented the MySQL Table Editor from showing table information,
       such as indexes, views, foreign keys, and so on. (Bug #26388250,
       Bug #86906)

     * Memory use on a Windows host was excessive when a large
       result set was exported to a file, causing MySQL Workbench to
       become unresponsive. (Bug #26139027, Bug #86430)

     * Synchronizing a database that included a table with JSON
       fields to the data model produced new, separate tables for the
       JSON data, instead of updating the original table. In this
       instance, the target MySQL version set in the modeling
       preference, 5.6.30 by default, does not support the operation.
       This fix sets the default version to MySQL 8.0, but the value can
       be adjusted by selecting Preferences, Modeling, and then MySQL
       from the Edit menu.  (Bug #25788105, Bug #85648)

     * The zoom-out button did not alter the zoom level of
       spatial data when viewed from a Linux host, unless the zoom level
       was reset to the outermost level first. (Bug #25723313,
       Bug #85444)

     * MySQL Workbench became unresponsive for several minutes
       after a server startup attempt was made on macOS hosts.
       (Bug #25077227, Bug #83769)

     * No errors or warnings were reported when scheduling a
       backup with MySQL Enterprise Backup, although the backup did not
       execute as scheduled. (Bug #23562328, Bug #81788)

     * A Sybase database migration with the ODBC (FreeTDS)
       connection method produced an exception when the connection was
       tested. (Bug #23345282, Bug #81546)

     * MySQL Workbench server administration could not acquire
       management access to Oracle Solaris. For a list of supported
       platforms, visit
https://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/workbench.html.
       (Bug #22453133, Bug #72204)

     * On Linux, edits made to values in the result grid were
       lost when using the pointer device to move within the grid,
       rather than pressing the Enter or Tab key to change the focus.
       (Bug #20742151, Bug #76387)

     * Forward engineering a valid MySQL Workbench model was
       unsuccessful when the operation was performed using a MySQL 5.5
       server instance. (Bug #20637664)

     * On macOS, a query containing SELECT @@hostname returned
       the column header, but the query did not show any visible output
       unless the first row below the column header was selected.
       (Bug #20540937)

     * After reverting changes made to triggers in a schema that
       had been saved and synchronized, MySQL Workbench was not able to
       locate any differences when the reverted schema was
       re-synchronized with the model. (Bug #20222031)

     * A connection saved with MySQL Workbench Migration Wizard
       was no longer visible in the wizard after MySQL Workbench was
       upgraded to a later version. An attempt to save the connection
       again, using the same name, returned an error indicating that the
       original connection was preserved.  (Bug #18454574)

     * No connection could be made to the PostgreSQL database
       system when it was selected as the source in MySQL Workbench
       Migration Wizard on macOS. (Bug #17299989)
