title: MySQL Workbench won't allow me to select Varbinary data type
body: <p>I am trying to set-up some encryption of tables in MySQL Workbench.Encrypt data is necessary to store it as Var binary, however when I try to select this data type my workbench gives me an error message (shown in the image below) and reverts to a previous data type. Any help with overcoming this is much appreciated.</p>
