file conversion- .mwb to .sql file

Question

I have a database in .mwb format. I want to use it in eclipse so i need to convert it into .sql format. If anyone know how to do that by using any tool. I think My sql workbench

Answer 1

In the menu click "Database" and then "Forward engineering" (shortcut CTRL+G).

UPDATE:

Your .mwb file is a proprietary format, which also holds information of the graphical representation in Workbench. Your generated .sql file is a script, which your MySQL server needs to interpret. To create the database you designed via command line write something like this in the console of your choice:

mysql -u yourUser -p yourDatabase < yourFile.sql

You can omit "yourDatabase" when you create it with your script.

Answer 2

Forward Engineering on my Debian installation of workbench did not work. This worked for me to convert .mwb file to .sql file.
