Important Notes About Running Queries

  • End each SQL statement with a semicolon (;). This tells SQL that the current statement is complete.

  • When you run a script, MySQL Workbench only executes the statement your cursor is currently inside (or the text you have highlighted).

    • If your cursor is on the second line, only that statement will run, not the entire file.

  • To run all queries in the file, highlight them all first, then click the Execute button (⚡).

  • For this project, you can do all the learning queries in 1 tab if you’d like, however, do the exercises in separate tabs where stated.
