title: MySQL Workbench Export of data (Schema Lost!!)
body: <p>I exported my database in MySQL Workbench, because I had to recreate the database. I dropped the schema, and now when I try import the schema, there is nothing there. If anyone can help me retrieve the schema I will be very grateful.</p>
  
  <p>Either I don't understand MySQL Workbench, or the data was not exported correctly.</p>
  
  <p>Steps I followed in MySQL Workbench:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Server -> Data Export -> I selected the relevant schema (www) -> Export to Self-Contained File -> Start Export</p></li>
  <li><p>Check that the file exists (Database_schema_1.sql).</p></li>
  <li><p>Selected the Schema -> Drop Schema</p></li>
  <li><p>Server -> Data Import -> Import Self-Contained File -> Select Database_schema_1.sql</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>The schema is not there!!!</p>
