Final answer:

To view table data in MySQL Workbench, connect to the database, navigate to the Schemas section, expand your database, and find your table. Right-click and choose 'Select Rows - Limit 1000' or use the 'Table Data' icon in the toolbar. For custom queries, use the 'Query' tab to execute a SELECT statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

To view table data in MySQL Workbench, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Open MySQL Workbench and connect to the database where your table is stored.
  2. In the left sidebar, navigate to the Schemas section which lists all databases.
  3. Expand the database that contains your table.
  4. Expand the Tables section below your database name, find the table you want to view and click on it.
  5. Right-click the table and choose the Select Rows - Limit 1000 option to display the data in the table. This will open a new tab with the table's data displayed.
  6. Alternatively, you can select the table and then click on the table icon with a magnifying glass (labelled as 'Table Data') in the toolbar to view the data.
  7. If you wish to run a custom SQL query, go to the 'Query' tab, enter your SQL query and execute it to view the results.

Note that the default option to Select Rows may retrieve only a subset of the data (limited by 1000 rows). To view all data or apply specific conditions, you'll need to write and execute a custom SQL SELECT query.
