Data Models & Forward Engineering with MySQL Workbench

Forward Engineering Tutorial

Essentially, you need to choose the options in the Forward Engineering wizard so that the tables are created in your default schema – which is generally your first initial and first 7 characters of your last name.  Remember to insert the use SCHEMA statement into the sql script prior to executing it.
