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:
- Open MySQL Workbench and connect to the database where your table is stored.
- In the left sidebar, navigate to the Schemas section which lists all databases.
- Expand the database that contains your table.
- Expand the Tables section below your database name, find the table you want to view and click on it.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
