How to get a table creation script in MySQL Workbench?

Question

I am rolling back to MySQL GUI Tools\' MySQL Query Browser since I can\'t find the shortcut to get a table\'s creation script in MySQL Workbench.

Answer 1

Not sure if this is still an issue, but for me in 5.2.35CE it's possible to get the create scripts by:

1. Database --> Reverse Engineer

2. Under stored connection, choose your database

3. Hit "Next" a few times, choose which schema you want to reverse engineer, and let the tool work

4. You'll get an "EER Diagram" view with all the DB's schema. If you right click on the table you care about and choose "Copy SQL to Clipboard" I think you'll have what you need.

Hopefully this helps someone else that needs it.
