fix MySQL .SQL script failure - INSERT has an FK column constraint

Question

In MySQL Workbench 5.2 I am trying to execute a SQL script we have.

How do I actually make the whole thing execute? When I select all and press ctrl-enter it only executes one line of the SQL script!

If I execute the script by placing my cursor at the end of the last line; only that last line executes.

I am searching on Google but I guess I do not know how to phrase it correctly or understand enough.

This may be because I moved to a new computer and therefore a new profile. Could it be that MySQL Workbench does not have enough permissions on it?

My only real option seems to be

File >> New >> Query Tab

I thought there would be like a new script tab and a new query tab??

Thanks.

Answer 1

Just press ctrl+shift+enter or select all the lines in your script file then press ctrl+enter

Answer 2

To execute all statements, hold down the shift key: Ctri+Shift+Enter; or click the Execute (lightening bolt with neither cursor nor magnifying glass) button on the toolbar; or select Execute (All or Selection) from the Query menu.
