Hello there, thank you for your sharing, such a great thing. I have a question please. Is there any chance to set the Light theme for MySQL Workbench since I still want to keep the Dark theme from system perspective. I just googled around but had no luck.

Thanks a lot for this video. I need to do the project for my studies and this is helping me a lot!😀

Hi there! Bottom right corner of the Result Grid, I can only see 'Read Only'. I don't have Apply and Revert. How do I find it, I want to change data from the result panel? Thanks for the help.

Thank you. I used to use mysqlYog but moved over to Linux and thus needed something new, this was very helpful. I haven't watched the full video yet but I hope this program has the ability to export your databases as sql quarries for backups 🤔

Also a bit of a side note but do you know of any reputable mysql clients on Android? Nothing fancy, I just want to be able to quickly review the information when I'm out and about. 🤔

hi.

i wonder is it possible to kinda put a folder in where all the tables are? to make it more organized?
and also, i get an error if i remove all the records in the table. i wonder if its something i need to set, that allows a table to be empty. or maybe i just don't need to care about the error.
