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

This problem seems to be happening only when using MySQL Workbench. If you use the command line client (/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql), it is possible to get an answer from mysql server.

Try to do it: 1. Execute /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql --user=YOUR_USER --password=YOUR_PASSWORD 2. Type "use sys;" 3. Type "select * from sys_config;"

Now, we have to find out why the Workbench doesn't work.
