I came here looking for the answer to the same question. But I found a much better answer myself.

In the tables list, if you right-click on the table name there is a suite of CRUD script generation options in "Send to SQL Editor". You can select multiple tables and take the same approach too.

My version of MySQL Workbench: 5.2.37

Not sure if I fully understood your problem  but if it s just about creating export scripts  you should forward engineer to SQL script - Ctrl   Shift   G or File -  Export -  first option

I cannot find such an option either  at least in the Community edition   I suppose this corresponds to the Reverse Engineering feature  which  unfortunately  is only available in the commercial edition  quoting        reverse engineering a database   directly from a MySQL server applies   to commercial versions of MySQL   Workbench only     Still  you can use plain-SQL to get the create table instruction that will allow you to create a table   For instance  the following query    show create table url alias    when executed on a drupal database  would give  when using right click  gt  copy field content on the result     CREATE TABLE  url alias       pid  int 10  unsigned NOT NULL auto increment     src  varchar 128  NOT NULL default          dst  varchar 128  NOT NULL default          language  varchar 12  NOT NULL default         PRIMARY KEY    pid      UNIQUE KEY  dst language    dst   language      KEY  src language    src   language     ENGINE InnoDB AUTO INCREMENT 1 DEFAULT CHARSET utf8    Unfortunately  again   MySQL Workbench adds some quotes everywhere when copying this way  -     EDIT  Using MySQL 8 0  there is an option to right click  gt  copy field  unquoted  on the result to get the desired result without quotes    In the end  the simplest solution  except from staying with MySQL Query Browser  will most likely be to connect to the database  using the command-line client  and execute the show create table query from there    mysql gt  show create table url alias G                             1  row                                    Table  url alias Create Table  CREATE TABLE  url alias       pid  int 10  unsigned NOT NULL auto increment     src  varchar 128  NOT NULL default        dst  varchar 128  NOT NULL default        language  varchar 12  NOT NULL default       PRIMARY KEY    pid      UNIQUE KEY  dst language    dst   language      KEY  src language    src   language     ENGINE InnoDB AUTO INCREMENT 1 DEFAULT CHARSET utf8 1 row in set  0 00 sec    Getting  the right portion  of the output is easier  there   no quote to remove       And  just for the sake of completness  you could also use mysqldump to get your table s structure    mysqldump --no-data --user USERNAME --password PASSWORD --host HOST DATABASE NAME TABLE NAME   Using the --no-data switch  you ll only get the structure -- in the middle of some mode settings and all that

Not sure if this is still an issue  but for me in 5 2 35CE it s possible to get the create scripts by    Database --  Reverse Engineer Under stored connection  choose your database Hit  Next  a few times  choose which schema you want to reverse engineer  and let the tool work You ll get an  EER Diagram  view with all the DB s schema   If you right click on the table you care about and choose  Copy SQL to Clipboard  I think you ll have what you need      Hopefully this helps someone else that needs it
