Frequency of the automatic saves. Scripts are restored from the last saved version, if MySQL Workbench shuts down. Create new tabs as Query tabs instead of File. By default, opening a new SQL editor tab opens as an SQL File tab. Select this option if you prefer the simpler Query tabs that, for example, do not prompt to be saved when closed. For every SQL statement executed, a new result grid will be generated. In the following image, we can check on the script area and the result grid created from the execution: Figure 1. MySQL Workbench result grid. The elements that can be found in the MySQL Workbench show result grid are the following: Toolbar. MySQL Grid Toolbar part one.
How To Use Mysql Workbench
In MySQL Workbench 5.2.26 a new query execution command is available, where query output is sent as text to the text Output tab of the SQL Editor. Some MySQL Workbench users liked the “Results to Text” option available in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. Cool thing is with a few lines of Python we implemented this command using the SQL Editor scripting API.

Run/Execute a Query in MySQL Workbench. Open MySQL Workbench and connect to the database and set a default database. Then open an SQL editor by clicking on the menu File New Query Tab or by pressing the key Ctrl+T. Then in the SQL editor type your query, for example, select. from customer, then press Ctrl+Enter to run the current query in MySQL.

In this post, you will learn:
Execute Query to Text (accessible from Query -> Execute (All or Selection) to Text), will execute the query you typed in textual form into the Output tab in the SQL Editor. The output is similar to that of the MySQL command line client and can be copy/pasted as plain text. But the command line client has a different, interesting output format, activated through the –vertical command line option. It changes the output from a tabular to a form-like format, where row values are displayed as column name/value pairs:
We will try emulating that format using our modified plugin.
The Original Plugin Code
The goals for the original plugin shipped with Workbench were:
You can locate the original code for the plugin we want to modify in the
sqlide_grt.py file, in the MySQL Workbench distribution (in Windows it will be in the modules directory in the WB folder, in MacOS X it will be in MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/PlugIns and in Linux, in /usr/lib/mysql-workbench/modules).
Lines 1 to 6 import some Workbench specific Python modules:
Create New Table Mysql Workbench Query@ModuleInfo.export(grt.INT, grt.classes.db_query_QueryBuffer) declares the return type (grt.INT by convention) and argument types of the plugin function defined further down. In the line above it, a unique identifier for the plugin is given, followed by a default caption to use in places such as menus, the input values taken by the plugin and the location in the Plugins menu where it should be placed.
The plugin executes the current query, so the argument it requests is
wbinputs.currentQueryBuffer() (the selected query buffer tab), which has a type of <a href='http://wb.fabforce.eu/doc/globals/classdb__query___query_buffer.html'>db_query_QueryBuffer</a> . You can read more about the available types and inputs in the relevant documentation.

The code itself is straightforward:
Custom Plugin
The goals for the custom plugin are:
To create the modified version, we can copy the above plugin and make some changes.
First, we change the module info:
![]()
The plugin arguments are the same, so we only need to update its identifier and name:
Mysql Workbench Select Database
You can see the body of the function in the complete sample module file here.
Trying it Out
To install the module, you can use the Scripting -> Install Module/Script File… menu command. Select the newly created plugin file (
verticalquery_grt.py ) from the file browser and click Open.Once installed, restart Workbench and run it:
