Working with the Client

A common session looks like this:

  1. Start DBeaver Ultimate.
  2. Add a connection and select the database system you want to use.
  3. Enter the server address, port, credentials, and applicable security settings.
  4. Create and execute statements in the SQL editor.
  5. Examine the returned data in the explorer, or export it when needed.
  6. Customize the workspace with plugins and advanced preferences.

To configure a connection:

  • Choose the database type
  • Enable SSH tunneling or SSL/TLS when the environment requires it
  • Store the connection profile
  • Browse schemas, tables, and records, then run queries

Settings and Profiles

Connection profiles and workspace preferences are configured from within the application.

A profile can contain settings such as:

{
  "connection": {
