WampServer

Hi, I'm having troubles exporting scripts from mysql workbench because it says that mysql workbench has 5.7.17. version of mysqldump and sql server needs 5.7.19 version or higher. I'm not sure what do I have to update and how? Should I update mysql workbench or wampserv, and is there some kind of automatic update that us usual in other apps? I tried to set the path in edit-> preferences->administration by pointing it to mysqldump.exe in wampserv directory on the disk but the problem persists. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Hi

This is not really a WAMPServer issue, but rather a how to use MySQL Workbench issue, but anyway, try this


Launch WorkBench
Dont connect to any database
You should see the words "MySQL Connections" followed by a Plus (+) and a Spanner symbol... Click the spanner

This should have launched the "Manage Server Connections dialog.

In the left pane, click the connection name you have setup, for example mine is "Localhost MySQL5.6.36"
Then click the "System Profile" tab

Set the parameters as follows

System Type : Windows
Installation Type : Custom
Configuration File : D:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.36\my.ini
^^^^ This is the important one 
^^^^ it should point to the my.ini file of the version of MySQL you want to use

Configuration File Section: wampmysqld
Windows Service Name: wampmysqld
^^^ These 2 would be wampmysqld64 if you are running a 64bit WAMPServer

Basically you should setup a new connection for each of the possible MySQL server instances you are playing with, so that each connection knows where to find the `my.ini` file and the correct section of the my.ini file.


Now unfortunately, workbench seems to assume you will only ever have one MySQL instance, so each time you change versions of MySQL you also need to do what you already did and check the

Edit->Preferences->Administration parameters and make sure you are pointing to the correct version of `mysqldump.exe` and `mysql.exe`

Annoying but true.
