  1. Mysql workbench 6.3 does not work with windows 10 … I get "Mysql workbench has stopped working" error message every time I try to connect to localhost, 127.0.0.1 or remove servers. I have xamp installed and tried disabling apache and sql but it does not work. Luckily HeidiSQL works fine.

  2. No, no, no!

    You are starting too advanced! I have a database class and the Chinese assistant profesor does this, and the guy is really hard to understand!

    Please start with what are the various windows there.

    And then, how do I ** create ** a datbase with the workbench? That should be the very first thing.

    You started with a database already created. Well, where did that come from!? So far, I watched the first minute and all you did was confuse me.

  3. don't know why my workbench, adding table tag is different with yours. not show column list, but only a title with 3 lined blanks of Column Name, Collation and Comments. Also, the blanks don't allow me to edit.
    The workbench version is 6.3.5 build 201 CE(bit32) running on my 64bit windows7.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

  4. I recently downloaded MySQL, and I was trying to do each step in your tutorial but I got stuck with the Foreign Keys section on the Sales table. I followed your exact steps twice, and each time I try to click the check box on user_id under column (what you did at 5:13) I get a pop up. The pop up reads:

     Create Foreign Key: Referenced table has no candidate columns with a compatible type for sales.userid.
    Hint: source column has type INT,
    PK of referenced table is UNSIGNED INT.

    Can you help me with what I am doing wrong?

  5. Caleb, quick question; how do you show the symbols next to the columns in the model view? in your video I can see the primary key symbol etc. thanks for the video btw it's really helpful!

  6. This seems really user friendly, literally played around with it and made a shit ton of table and shit lol, It looks to me like it one of those drag drop programming applications. I hope you do make a tutorial vids for using this, weird that I'm having fun making databases!?
