Modern MySQL Workbench 10.1
A Jupyter-style notebook for MySQL Workbench 26, with AI, result charts, exports and a VS Code-style workspace. A free plugin by KGP Talkie.
Install
- Download Modern-MySQL-Workbench-Setup.exe below.
- Run it. It installs for your user only (no admin rights) in
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Modern MySQL Workbenchand adds a Modern MySQL Workbench shortcut to the Desktop and the Start menu. - Open Modern MySQL Workbench.
Needs Windows 10 or 11 and MySQL Workbench 26 (tested with 26.10.0). MySQL Workbench itself is not changed: plain Workbench still opens from its own shortcut. Close plain Workbench before you open Modern MySQL Workbench.
The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may warn. Click More info, then Run anyway.
To remove it: Settings > Apps > Installed apps > Modern MySQL Workbench > Uninstall.
New in 10.1
- Version guard. MySQL Workbench updates itself, and an update can change the parts of Workbench the plugin builds on. The plugin now checks for them first. If something is missing, it turns itself off cleanly, leaves plain Workbench working as normal, and shows a short note asking you to update the plugin.
- README: a guide to choosing an AI model, an FAQ, GIFs and a new logo.
Also in this first release (10.0)
- New name: Modern MySQL Workbench.
- MySQL keywords turn into capitals as you type. Names, strings, comments and
{{variables}}are left alone, and one Ctrl+Z puts a word back. - Keywords picked from autocomplete come in UPPERCASE, lowercase or as typed.
- The notebook bar shows the connection and the server, for example "Local · MySQL 9.4.0".
- Notebook cells, Run All, result search, filters, sort, copy and save, charts,
{{variables}}, safety confirms, Production and Read-only tags, query timeout, exports (HTML, PDF, Markdown,.sqlnb,.sql), a sample notebook, and AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible API).
About AI answers
The plugin does not write the SQL; the model you pick in Configure AI does. Use a cloud model, or a local model of 27b to 32b parameters. Small models (4b and below) often write wrong SQL: that is the model, not the plugin. Free API options (OpenRouter, Google Gemini, Groq, NVIDIA NIM) are in the README under "Choosing an AI model".
