Can't get script to run...

Due to changes between the version used in the lesson, and the newer one I've used, the setup processes has been pretty rough going. I've managed to get this far but, now this movie db script will not run. I obviously know little about SQL but fear that this script may not be compatible with my version. Is this the case? Can it be modified to work? Thanks.

I had the same problems but upto here its actually quite simple. You can go directly to file -> open SQL Script and search for movies_db. It will open and you can hit the lightning icon and run the script. If you hit the minimize/maximize button beside MANAGEMENT in the navigator section on the left, you can right click in the SCHEMAS window , refresh all and see the imported db.

Thanks Andre. However, I had been following the instructions for running the script exactly, but every time I would hit the lightening icon it produced a spinning/loading symbol, the workbench would hang and finally have to be forced quit. I did some googling and apparently this is common problem - the newest version of WB has a bug. I tried progressively older versions until 6.1, which works perfectly. Thanks for the response!
