'mysql.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command

There may be two causes for this problem:

1. When the path to the mysql.exe tool, which is used for the ddl and data loading, is not specified neither in the PATH system environment variable nor on the "Advanced" page of the SQLWays "Choose a Target Database" page. See the picture below:

2. There is no MySQL Server "Client Programs" are installed on the computer. That is why there is no mysql.exe command line tool to run the import on the computer. In this case you need to run the installation of the server but exclude all the options except for the "Client Programs" as it is shown in the picture below.

After the installation the mysql.exe command line tool used to run the ddl and data import, will reside in the folder you specify during installation. Please, refer to the first point of this article to setup the path to the mysql.exe tool.
