I installed mysql workbench in Windows7 32 bit machine. I imported a dump tables from another machine, the import process completes successfully as mysql shows. But, I can not see the tables, even after refresh all. Not only the tables that I import, even the tables in the test database (that comes by default) or any previously created tables in another database. Simply, it just shows the database name without the plus sign that display the tables. I removed mysql, installed it again, but no hope. I installed the requirements for mysql. What can be the reasons for such problem ?

If you're on mac, your object info and session section is covering the tables view. it's a feature, not a bug😁...Just go ahead and drag that down and you should see the tables 😃

Happens on Linux too. I was stuck on Administration and I had to drag Object info lower so I can see the Administration and Schemas tabs and switch to Schemas. What a horrible UX.
Had the same issue, table not showing up under Tables in the navigation sidebar in MySQL Workbench 6.0 even after exiting and relaunching MySQL Workbench. The solution was to right-click on Tables and Refresh All.

Using v6.3 on Mac osSierra (10.12.4), I was not able to get the right-click context menu on "Tables". Others worked, however. e.g. Right-clicking on a schema displayed the "Edit Schema ..." menu. Closing/re-opening also did not work for me.
I had the same thing happen. I just closed the program, re-opened it, and all the tables I imported were viewable.

I think it is a bug in MySql Workbench.
If you cannot see any updated changes in tables or schemas, then simply close the workbench and reopen it.
If this does not work however, then check your connection and server status.

I assume there is an icon (eye) next to your schema name, if you click on it it will open a window with all hidden tables. Click on show to solve the problem

Although the question is 8 years old at the time of writing this, I faced the same issue and thought I'd share my solution, which turned out to be rather basic: there's a refresh button to the right of 'Schemas'. If you click this, the newly created tables come into view. You don't have to close and reopen Mysql in such a case.

Having this issue in 2023 with the new SSO driver. Can't see a refresh butotn next to schemas in this version of build 125.
I had faced the same issue, Decrease the window size of workbench, table will be visible.

after the successful connection there is a slider called Administration and Schema. Administration option is by default selected we need to slide it and select Schema to see the Database tables.As Olaoye Oluwapelumi suggested.

I had the issue that tables are shown on the left hand side box but when I run the query like "select * from table" then my table was not shown then I restarted my computer then after restarting the issue was resolved.
