title: MYSQL - Connect MYSQL Workbench to a MYSQL server on localhost
body: <p>I know the question I am about to ask is a very stupid once but I am new to MYSQL so please bear with me. Want I want to do is create a database on my local machine and also access/manipulate it from their. I thought MYSQL WB was the all in one tool to do this i.e it will also allow me to create a database and also make a MYSQL server from which to access it. But I came to know the Workbench is just a front end and you need to have a some kind of a seperate MYSQL server module for it to access. 
  The problem is I can't seem to find any link for a simple a server module on the MYSQL download site. 
    <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/" rel="nofollow">http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/</a> .</p>
  
  <p>It has one Cluster Server but I don't think this is what I am looking for. If anyone could provide a link to the MYSQL server module using which I could connect MYSQL Workbench on my local host, and the steps to connect them that would be great.</p>
