Dbeaver connect to local database

DBeaver 7.2.4 download - Windows 7 - Free Universal Database Manager and SQL Client.

I'm trying to make DBeaver database manager connect to a Firebird.FDB file. It is a local file database and I want to inspect the tables etc and perform some queries for data reporting.How. DBeaver (Size 28 MB): Connection manager. Metadata browser. Execute queries. Working with SQL. DBeaver is certainly an ultimate Universal client which incorporates RDBMS and NoSQL Databases. The GUI is very useful and easy to manipulate all kind of DB queries.DBeaver is remarkably fast and stable. It loads quickly and responds instantaneously. Especially, It is the only client tool for Apache Cassandra NoSQL Database in market. 🅳🅾🆆🅽🅻🅾🅰🅳 Universal Database Manager and SQL Client.

Once you've installed DBeaver, you'll probably want to connect to a database. below are instructions for connecting to SQL Server using DBeaver on a Mac.

Note that, although this tutorial uses SQL Server, DBeaver supports many different database management systems.

  1. Launch DBeaver

    Click on the DBeaver icon (either in your Launchpad or the Applications folder) to launch the DBeaver application.

  2. Launch the New Connection Wizard

    If this is the first time you've launched DBeaver, you'll probably be prompted with the Create new connection dialog.

    Expand the SQL Server node, select jTDS driver, and click Next >.

    For this tutorial I selected jTDS driver, but by all means select another driver if you prefer.

    If the Create new connection wizard doesn't automatically appear when you open DBeaver, go to Database > New Connection to initiate this wizard.

  3. Enter Connection Settings

    Enter the connection settings for the SQL Server instance that you'd like to connect to.

    If the SQL Server instance is running on your local machine, use localhost.

    Also click Test Connection to see if there are going to be any problems with the connection or not.

  4. Download Driver Files (if required)

    The connection wizard will tell you if you need to download any driver files. If you do, select the file/s and click Download.

  5. Success Dialog Box

    Once the driver has downloaded, a Success dialog is displayed. Click OK.

    This dialog box would have appeared at the previous step if you didn't need to download a driver.

  6. Continue with the Connection

    Now that the driver has been downloaded, click Next > to continue with the connection.

  7. Network Settings

    This step gives you the option of entering any network settings that are required to access the SQL Server.

    In this case, the SQL Server is running locally, so leave the default settings and click Next >.

  8. Finish

    Change any settings as required. For this tutorial, I left them all at the default settings.

    Click Finish to create the connection.

That's it. We just made a new connection to SQL Server with DBeaver.

The DBeaver interface is now displayed:

Dbeaver Local Database Software

The CData JDBC Driver for PostgreSQL implements JDBC standards that enable third-party tools to interoperate, from wizards in IDEs to business intelligence tools. This article shows how to connect to PostgreSQL data with wizards in DBeaver and browse data in the DBeaver GUI.

Create a JDBC Data Source for PostgreSQL Data

Follow the steps below to load the driver JAR in DBeaver.

  1. Open the DBeaver application and, in the Databases menu, select the Driver Manager option. Click New to open the Create New Driver form.
  2. In the Driver Name box, enter a user-friendly name for the driver.
  3. To add the .jar, click Add File.
  4. In the create new driver dialog that appears, select the cdata.jdbc.postgresql.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
  5. Click the Find Class button and select the PostgreSQLDriver class from the results. This will automatically fill the Class Name field at the top of the form. The class name for the driver is cdata.jdbc.postgresql.PostgreSQLDriver.
  6. Add jdbc:postgresql: in the URL Template field.

Create a Connection to PostgreSQL Data

Follow the steps below to add credentials and other required connection properties.

Dbeaver Connect To Local Database

  1. In the Databases menu, click New Connection.
  2. In the Create new connection wizard that results, select the driver.
  3. On the next page of the wizard, click the driver properties tab.

  4. Enter values for authentication credentials and other properties required to connect to PostgreSQL.

    To connect to PostgreSQL, set the Server, Port (the default port is 5432), and Database connection properties and set the User and Password you wish to use to authenticate to the server. If the Database property is not specified, the data provider connects to the user's default database.

    Built-in Connection String Designer

    For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

    java -jar cdata.jdbc.postgresql.jar

    Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

    Below is a typical connection string:

    jdbc:postgresql:User=postgres;Password=admin;Database=postgres;Server=127.0.0.1;Port=5432;

Query PostgreSQL Data

You can now query information from the tables exposed by the connection: Right-click a Table and then click Edit Table. The data is available on the Data tab.
