How to see errors in MySQL Workbench 6.1?


I recently upgraded my development machine to use MySQL Workbench 6.1. I am trying to enter some data into a table using the workbench and "Select rows..." When I click the "Apply" button to insert the data, the workbench reports that an error occurred (see the image below), but it doesn't tell me what the error is. Workbench 5.* used to show the errors. I cannot find any way to get Workbench 6.1 to show me the errors. How can I see the error messages?

Solution

  • To cause MySQL Workbench to show error messages, I had to change a preference. From the Workbench menu, click "Edit" -> "Preferences..." Open the "SQL Queries" tab. Check "Confirm Data Changes".
