I built a database schema (or Model?) with MySQL Workbench. I'd like to now make it into an actual database.
I've seen Forward and Reverse engineer options and can't find a clear answer on if either are what I need.
How can I turn this into an actual database?

As of MySQL Workbench 8.0, go to the menu item Database > Forward Engineer. After specifying your database connection and model export options, you'll be able to create the database you have designed.
Open MySQL Workbench, select the models view from the sidebar in the home screen, click (>) next to Models, and then click Reverse Engineer MySQL Create Script. Find and import the sakila-schema. sql file.
Open the MySQL Workbench as an administrator (Right-click, Run as Admin). Click on File>Create Schema to create the database schema. Enter a name for the schema and click Apply. In the Apply SQL Script to Database window, click Apply to run the SQL command that creates the schema.
This for mysql workbench version 6.0 and for exporting a schema.
Select tab MySQL Model
Select File->Export->Forward Engineer SQL Create
Place a file name to be exported in the Output SQL Script File, choose your options, next
Export MySQL table Objects,
filter tables
Then a file is created which you can import to your database and it creates schemas if not exists, creates tables if not exists.
In the case of models, you need to pay, many bucks, for a tool that creates schemas, tables, indexes, cascading, and all stuff associated to an existing data model.
