Does MySQL Workbench need server to operate?

Question

I have to solve problem with the database connection.

I checked the ip address and port but my pc's host doesnt allow the connection.

Do I have to own a server to use MySQL workbench?

Answer 1

MySQL Workbench connects to a MySQL Server instance. However, you can install MySQL Server on your own machine. Server and client(s) can co-exist on the same machine.

You can download the latest open source MySQL Server (currently version 5.1.50) from:
