In MySQL Workbench, by default, only 1000 rows will be displayed so that you cannot load the entire table (which will take a lot of time as soon as you reach, say, 2 million records).
In the screenshot, you can see the controls that are placed directly above the result set. If you want to display all the data, just press the 7th button (hint: switching the record number limit). This will show you all the entries in the table. 
Now in version Workbench 6.2 Go To Query Tab → Limit Rows → (check the box) Do not limit
