DBeaver is designed for use with SAP® ASE (Adaptive Server Enterprise), originally known as Sybase SQL Server, and also commonly known as Sybase DB or ASE, – a relational model database server product for businesses. DBeaver Community Edition is free and open source (ASL) product for developers, database administrators, analysts and all people who need to work with databases. Supports all popular databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Sybase, MS Access, Teradata, Firebird, Apache Hive, Phoenix, Presto, etc. That’s why some companies are starting to ask for a switch to DBeaver. DBeaver is a free, open-source and cross-platform (based on Java) universal database tool and SQL client specially developed for developers and database administrators on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. DBeaver is a free, universal SQL client that can connect to numerous types of databases-one of which is MySQL. I want to show you how to install and use DBeaver to connect to your remote MySQL. Also, access must be granted using the inbound rules of the DB instance's security group, and other requirements must be met. For more information, see Can't connect to Amazon RDS DB instance.
Step-by-step tutorial on connecting to SQL Server with DBeaver.
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.
Click on the DBeaver icon (either in your Launchpad or the Applications folder) to launch the DBeaver application.
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.
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.
The connection wizard will tell you if you need to download any driver files. If you do, select the file/s and click Download.
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.
Now that the driver has been downloaded, click Next > to continue with the connection.
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 >.
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:
