In this blog post we are going to talk about one of the features included since MySQL for Excel 1.3.0, a new advanced option was added to the Export Data dialog to show all available MySQL data types on its Data Type combo-box to override its default behavior that shows only the most commonly used data types.
Remember you can install the latest GA or maintenance version using the MySQL Installer or optionally you can download directly any GA or non-GA version from the MySQL Developer Zone.
