Installation of MySQL Workbench

I have installed the WAMP Server at my computer. Now I would like to install MySQL Workbench, but I don't know if I should install only Workbench, or if I should install the MySQL Community Server with all that it has.

Another doubt, If I install MySQL Community Server, will it replace the MySQL from WAMP? Or will I have two MySQL at my PC? They will get conflict?

Sorry, I don't have much experience with databases.

Thank you

You asked several questions, I think this answers them all:

If I have a DB already, should I install SQL Community Server, or Just the Workbench:

Just the workbench is fine.

From this link, don't download the top "all in one" package, go to the "other downloads" and choose the one that meets your needs.

If I Install Community Server, will it replace MySQL from WAMP?

Technically you can have both, but yes, if you don't do it right, you can have some conflicts.

WAMP Supports running MySQL as a command line console (which closes when you close the console window), or as a windows service. Installing the service is where you'd most likely get the conflicts.

  1. You can choose to install only MySQL Workbench. If It's so, when You are going to use Workbench, you need to start MySQL from Wamp.
  2. You can have two or many installed MySQL servers, but they have to be in different routes (paths).
  3. You can run two or many instances of MySQL Server, but they have to be in different ports.

No, in general you don't need to install the MySQL Community Server to install MySQL Workbench since it can connect to any MySQL server (local or remote). In my experience it can work with the MySQL provided by WAMP without problems.
