Today morning I upgraded my MacBook to High Sierra (Version 10.13)

Now, my MySQL workbench (6.3.9) is behaving weirdly after this OS update...

1) When opened a fresh and executed simple select statement, workbench does not show results grid after query is executed.

2) When same/another select query is executed again, nothing comes up. Only workbench shows that query is being executed and shows in-progress wheel on tab...

Anybody witnessed this?

P.S.: I can query successfully using another laptop not having High Sierra and my DB is well up and running.

  • It's not MySQL Workbench that breaks things, but the OS update. How can an OS update so badly influence applications that ran before nicely? – Mike Lischke Sep 26 '17 at 07:14

    I've found that this issue has already been reported to MySQL Workbench team but it is marked _S3 (Non-critical)_ unfortunately. [Here](https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=87714) is the bug report. – kizanlik Sep 26 '17 at 09:38
  • @kizanlik: Yes, I saw that link. not sure if there is any process which can mark this as "Critical" – Akshay Lokur Sep 26 '17 at 09:44

    @MikeLischke I disagree in this case. The reliability of Workbench is a joke around my office - the thing crashes if you look at it wrong on every platform we've tried. – Jacob See Sep 26 '17 at 17:25

    Here is a [different link](https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=87862&thanks=sub) to the bug which is marked as S1 (Critical). I would be sure to click the "affects me" button to hopefully get it prioritized. – Blegger Sep 26 '17 at 20:28
  • @JacobSee It's not alway MySQL Workbench's blame. There's a reason why currently many (even big) companies warn about macOS High Sierra and that people should wait for a few weeks before upgrading. – Mike Lischke Sep 27 '17 at 06:53
  • @AkshayLokur I have the same problem... I am now using NetBeans to do some queries in a graphical environmen... it's been nice so far. Maybe you might want to try it... – loco.loop Nov 09 '17 at 15:24
  • @AkshayLokur I am trying https://dbeaver.jkiss.org/ which so far looks really promising... check it out. NetBeans turned out to be a little to limited for my needs in MySQL work. – loco.loop Nov 14 '17 at 18:17

Yes, MySQL WorkBench 6.1.7 is working on High Sierra, but here is the right link.

As I mentioned here: Cannot open SQL editor on macOS High Sierra

Version 6.1.7 has a disappearing grid bug on subsequent queries, which was fixed in 6.2.^ But 6.2 doesn't work on High Sierra as well.

I found that 6.0.8 works fine on Hight Sierra. Here is the link to archived versions: MySQL Workbench Versions
