`MySQL Workbench` provides extensive facilities for working directly with `SQL` statements. `MySQL Workbench` includes the `SQL Editor`. Use `SQL Editor` to enter `SQL` statements directly. You can enter statements, which can be saved to a file for later use. At any point, you can also execute the statements that you have entered.
