MySQL Workbench 5.2.6 Alpha Available

October 21, 2009 – 8:21 pm by tax

Hello folks, we have just released another alpha-version of MySQL Workbench 5.2. This release now contains another couple of Administration features like “Managing your user accounts”, “Viewing your log tables”, improved start/stop scripts for remote administration (administration of remote servers is working in the mac and linux version of MySQL Workbench 5.2.6 – the windows version needs yet a bit more tweaking on that park, so that will be available in next release). Please note that 5.2.5 was an internal only release.

Head right over to our download pages and grab a copy to check out current functionality hands on. Please keep in mind, that this is still an alpha version – so do not use it on production data/servers! Also please note, MySQL Workbench files saved with version 5.2 cannot be opened with previous versions of our program.

The files for several platforms have been pushed to our main server and should be available on our mirrors.

Please get your copy form our Download page:

General infos, including build instructions for Linux, on our Developer Central site at

If you need any additional info or help please get in touch with us. Post in our forums, leave comments on our blog pages or if you want to talk to us directly you can visit us on our IRC channel #workbench on irc.freenode.net. Keep an eye on our development page http://wb.mysql.com where we post news and additional infos about our progress.

  2. I am getting the following error on Win 7 Professional x64:

    “cairo error: out of memory”

  3. Thanks for reporting the issue. You can follow the fix for this bug here http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=48088

    Could you tell us a bit more about your machine (Laptop/Desktop, graphic card, amount of main memory) by simply running Help -> System Info in Workbench and add that output to that bug report? Would be much appreciated!

  5. Hi ( again ),

    after testing the update feature on 5.2.6 – I got the same behaviour… checking for updates gives a website with

    http://wb.mysql.com/version-check.php?config=OSS&version=5.2.6&revision=4213

    “No input file specified.”

    The version.log has a similar content…

    About to connect() to proxy (nil) port 80
    Trying 213.133.104.164… connected
    Connected to wb.mysql.com (213.133.104.164) port 80
    GET /versions.php?config=OSS&version=5.2.6&revision=4213&edition=OSS&rel_type=OSS&os=win32&pack_type=msi HTTP/1.1

    User-Agent: mysql_workbench-agent/5.2.6

    Host: wb.mysql.com

    Accept: */*

    The requested URL returned error: 404
    Closing connection #0
    HTTP response code said error

    Kind regards,

  13. I’m using windows 7 Pro x64 and if I try to use it in XP mode, it tells me “cairo error: out of memory”
    Also if I run it in normal mode, all of the letters in the diagrams are unreadable, and the background seems to be flashing or kinda.

    Thanks for the help.
