[mysql] Create a new database with MySQL Workbench

Being new to MySQL, I have installed the latest version of the MySQL Workbench (5.2.33). I would like to know how you can create a database with this application. In the Overview tab of the SQL editor there are few "MySQL Schema" displayed, are these schemas the existing databases?

Those who are new to MySQL & Mac users; Note that, Connection is different than Database.

Steps to create a database.

Step 1: Create connection and click to go inside

Step 2: Click on database icon

Step 3: Name your database schema

Step 4: Apply query

Step 5: Your DB created, enjoy...

How to create database in MySQL Workbench 6.3

1. In tab home (1) -> Right click on Local instance banner (2) -> Open Connection (3)
2. Right click on the empty space in schema window (1) -> Create schema (2)
3. Type name of database (1) -> Apply (2)

you can use this command :

CREATE {DATABASE | SCHEMA} [IF NOT EXISTS] db_name
  [create_specification] ...

create_specification:
    [DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET [=] charset_name
    | [DEFAULT] COLLATE [=] collation_name

Click the database symbol with the plus sign (shown in the below picture). Enter a name and click Apply.

This worked in MySQL Workbench 6.0

This answer is for Ubuntu users looking for a solution without writing SQL queries.

The following is the initial screen you'll get after opening it

In the top right, where it says Administration, click in the arrow to the right

This will show Schema (instead of Administration) and it's possible to see a sys database.

Right click in the grey area after functions and click Create Schema...

This will open the following where I'm creating a table named StackOverflow_db

Clicking in the bottom right button that says "Apply",

And in this new view click in "Apply" too. In the end you'll get a database called StackOverflow_db
