Does MySQLWorkbench include MySQL server?

database, mysql, mysql-workbench, sql

Solution

You will need to install MySQL yourself. You can download it individually or using a tool like WAMPserver which makes the process of installing and configuring ridiculously easy.

Problem

My aim is to create some simple tables in MySQL via a GUI similar to SQL Server Management Studio. In order to do this I found and installed MySQL Workbench. I am following this tutorial: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-getting-started-tutorial-admin.html but on step 5 I get an error message saying cannot connect to MySQL server. Am I supposed to have something else installed before I can use MySQL Workbench? I have assumed Workbench includes everything I need....
