How to downgrade mysqldump tools:
I am using mysql bench and when trying to export online databases from mysql bench to sql file I am getting this error:
mysqldump.exe is version 8.0.13 but the MySQL Server to be dumped has version 5.7.21. Because the version of mysqldump is not the same as the server, some features may not be backed up properly. It is recommeded you upgrade or downgrade your local MySQL client programs, including mysqldump, to a version equal to or newer than that of the target server. The path to the dump tool must then be set in Preferences -> Administrator -> Path to mysqldump Tools.
Yes the error is really annoying, but it's actually telling you what to do! The only thing you need to do is select the correct mysqldump.exe file.
The correct paths and instructions are write out here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15644697/mysqlworkbench-giving-version-error-on-exporting-database
