MySQL Workbench

User management
 MySQL Workbench
• MySQL Workbench is a unified visual database
designing or graphical user interface tool used
for working with database architects, develop-
ers, and Database Administrators. It is devel-
oped and maintained by Oracle.
• It provides SQL development, data modeling,
data migration, and comprehensive administra-
tion tools for server configuration, user adminis-
tration, backup, and many more. We can use
this Server Administration for creating new
physical data models, E-R diagrams, and for
SQL development (run queries, etc.).
MySQL Create User
