Why isn't INFORMATION_SCHEMA not displayed in the MySQL Workbench UI by default? I am running MySQL Workbench 6.3 CE.  The following is the default look of the UI:



I can query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA database, but it is not shown by default under the SCHEMAS section in the navigator panel on the left.  Why is this, and how can I get this database to show up on the said panel?
Click on 

Edit -&gt; Preferences -&gt; SQL Editor and then check the box "Show Metadata and Internal Schemas"


Click on Refresh icon on the right side of Schemas in the left side bar. 

I am using 6.3CE. Older versions may have something similar.
