MySQL Compatibility with MacOS Sierra

Question

Does anybody know of any compatibility issues or quirks with MySQL Community Server/Workbench on macOS Sierra? I recently did an installation on a Mac that had never held MySQL

Answer 1

I think I figured it out! It could have something to do with the length of the password. At first I had just set it up with a single-character password for my convenience, but I ran into some issues when trying to connect the Eclipse BIRT reporting software with MySQL. I changed the password to make it longer, and that solved the problem with BIRT, but even better, it seems to have solved the problem with Workbench as well!
