I am running MySQL Workbench 6.3 CE. The following is the default look of the UI:

![enter image description here

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 -> Preferences -> 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.
