MySql workbench query history ( last executed query / queries ) i.e. create / alter table, select, insert update queries

From the bottom panel, change "Action Output" to "History" and then choose the appropriate date.

Alternatively, the SQL statement history is stored in text files under two locations:

• sql_history/yyyy-mm-dd e.g., sql_history/2015-04-01: Full Workbench SQL history for all MySQL connections
• log/sql_actions_.log*: SQL history execution results, but without the data, and separated per MySQL connection

The location of these files depends on your system. For additional details, see MySQL Workbench Settings and Log Files

In both cases, you will see the query history.

C:\Users[WinUser]\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\Workbench\sql_history

you find a log file for each day. It includes manual and automated queries from workbench (e.g. UPDATES via edit in Table)

Suppose that you can no longer connect to a previous MySQL database instance, and you just want to see your SQL history from the editors. Do this:

1. Locate your MySQLWorkbench settings folder:

   • Windows: %AppData%\MySQL\Workbench\
   • macOS: /Users/~username/Library/Application Support/MySQL/Workbench/
   • Linux: /Users/~username/.mysql/workbench/

2. Open the folder sql_workspaces

3. You should see folders of your previous database connections. Navigate into one of them.

4. There should be several "*.scratch" files. They are text files of editor history of SQL queries.

5. Open these *.scratch files in a text editor, and copy the contents.
