DBeaver Overview. DBeaver is a free, open source multiplatform database management tool and SQL client for developers and database administrators. DBeaver can be used to access any database or cloud application that has an ODBC or JDBC driver, such as Oracle, SQL. DBeaver Universal Database Tool Free multi-platform database tool 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. In this blog I will tell you how to access WSO2 Databases with DBeaver. H2 As said, H2 is the embedded database for the user and registry data of WSO2 products, with the exception of Identity Server which has an Embedded LDAP (and an H2 database for registry data). The database is hardly visible, other than through the management UI of WSO2.

Connecting to a Database

This procedure explains how to establish a connection to a database using DBeaver.

To connect to a database :

  1. In the menu-bar, select Window | Show View | Database Navigator.
    The Database Navigator view is displayed.
  1. In the view's toolbar, click the Select active project icon to select a project you wish to create the database connection for.
  2. In the view's toolbar, click the New Connection Wizard icon .
    The Create new connection wizard is displayed.
  1. Select the database connection type, and click Next.
    If the driver for the connection type you selected has not been installed, you will be prompted to install it.
  1. Click Yes to download and install the driver files for the selected database.
    The driver is installed, and the Connection Settings dialog is displayed according to the database type you selected.
  1. Enter the general parameters for connecting to your database. These details may vary according to the database type, but they usually consist of the following parameters:
  • JDBC URL - Database URL. This field is editable only if the database driver doesn't have sample URL. Otherwise its value will be automatically changed whene you change other connection settings.
  • Host - Database host name.
  • Port - Database port number. Usually this field is optional. If left blank then the default database port will be used.
  • Database/Schema - Name of remote database/schema.
  • Server - Name of remote server.
  • User name/Password - User credentials. May be left blank for some drivers (e.g. for embedded databases).

Note:

Under the Advanced tab, you can configure advanced connections settings, e.g., Character Coding.

  1. Click Next.
    The Finish connection creation dialog is displayed.
  1. To test the connection before establishing the connection, click Test Connection.
  2. Configure the name and type of your connection (Development, Test, Connection), and click Finish.
    DBeaver establishes the new connection, which is displayed in the Database Navigator view.
  1. Expand the connection folders to view existing databases and tables. Generally, connections contain catalogs, catalog contains schemas, schemas contain tables, indexes, and procedures. Elements in the navigator view can be opened/edited/deleted/etc - possible additional actions are accessible through the context menu and/or toolbar.

Managing Connection Drivers

A database driver is a third-party library which provides the ability to work with specific database engines. The driver manager dialog allows you to create, delete and edit driver descriptions.

Drivers pioneerpos laptops & desktops. To manage your connection drivers:

  1. In the menu-bar, select Window | Show View | Database Navigator.
    The Database Navigator view is displayed.
  1. In the view's toolbar, click the Driver Manager icon .
    The Drive Manager dialog is displayed.
  1. To install a database driver, double-click a driver from the list.
    If the driver for the connection type you selected has not been installed, you will be prompted to install it.
  1. Click Yes to download and install the selected driver.
    The driver is installed, and the Edit Driver dialog is displayed.
  1. Edit the driver:
  • Driver name - Name of driver, shown in the driver manager. May be used by DBeaver to name scripts, show tips, etc.
  • Category (Optional) - Some databases have many different drivers, it is convenient to group these drivers. Category is just a name for this group. Most drivers do not have category.
  • Class name - Required field. It is a name of Java class which implements the driver. You may find the class name in the driver's documentation or click on the 'Find Class' button in the 'Driver Libraries' tab and choose the class name from the list.
  • Sample URL (Optional)- If this value is left blank, you will need to specify the full database URL. It is much more convenient when the sample URL is specified - in this case the connection wizard will require only valuable connection properties (host name, database name, etc).

Note:

For a full breakdown of the available driver editing options, in the Menu bar, go to Help | Help Contents | DBeaver Help | Manage Connections | Driver editor dialog.

  1. and click OK.
  2. To create a driver of your own, click New.
    The Create new driver dialog is displayed.
  1. Edit the driver according to the parameters specified in Step 5 above.
  2. To remove a driver, select the driver from the list, and click Remove.
  3. Click Yes, when prompted to approve the action.
    The driver is removed.

Working with your Database

Once you have established your connection, you can now begin to work with the data in your database using DBeaver.

Running SQL Queries and Scripts

This procedure will explain how to run SQL queries or scripts in your database using DBeaver.

To run SQL queries or scripts using DBeaver: Otometrics port devices driver download for windows 10.

  1. In the menu-bar, select Window | Open Perspective | DBeaver.
    The DBeaver perspective is displayed.
  1. In the Toolbar, click the Open SQL Editor icon to edit and execute SQL queries and scripts.
    The SQL Editor is displayed.
  1. Enter SQL script, or right-click inside the editor, and select Load SQL Script to import an existing file.
  2. To execute, right-click inside the editor, and select Execute SQL Statement or Execute SQL Script.
    You can view a history of all the commands executed in the current SQL editor in the Execution Log tab.

Note:

For more information on working with data and metadata using DBeaver, select Help | Help Contents | DBeaver Help | Work with data from the menu-bar.

Setting Active Database

Instead of manually running a 'use database' query with a database prefix for each SQL script or query you wish to run, you can define a database as being 'active' to directly run SQL scripts and queries.

To set a database as active:

  1. In the menu-bar, select Window | Open Perspective | DBeaver.
    The DBeaver perspective is displayed.
  1. In the Database Navigator, right-click a database, and select Set Active.
    Any SQL query or script that you execute will be run on the active database.

DBeaver Overview

DBeaver is a free, open source multiplatform database management tool and SQL client for developers and database administrators. DBeaver can be used to access any database or cloud application that has an ODBC or JDBC driver, such as Oracle, SQL Server, MySQl, Salesforce, or MailChimp. Devart DBeaver provides you with the most important features you'd need when working with a database in a GUI tool, such as:

  • SQL queries execution
  • Metadata browsing and editing
  • SQL scripts management
  • Data export/import
  • Data backup
  • DDL generation
  • ER diagrams rendering
  • Test data generation
  • BLOB/CLOB support
  • Database objects browsing
  • Scrollable resultsets

The tool comes in two editions — Community and Enterprise. Enterprise Edition supports NoSQL databases, such as MongoDB or Cassandra, persistent query manager database, SSH tunneling, vector graphics (SVG) and a few other enterprise-level features. Note though that you can access a MongoDB database from DBeaver Community Edition using the respective Devart ODBC driver. For the purposes of this guide, we'll use the Community Edition of DBeaver to retrieve data from SQL Azure via the Open Database Connectivity driver.

Creating an ODBC Data Source to Use SQL Azure Data in DBeaver

  1. Click the Start menu and select Control Panel.
  2. Select Administrative Tools, then click ODBC Data Sources.
  3. Click on the System DSN tab if you want to set up a DSN name for all users of the system or select User DSN to configure DSN only for your account.
  4. Click the Add button and double-click Devart ODBC Driver for SQL Azure in the list.
  5. Give a name to your data source and set up the connection parameters.
  6. Click the Test Connection button to verify that you have properly configured the DSN.

When using ODBC driver for SQL Azure with DBeaver, SQL_WVARCHAR data types may be displayed incorrectly in DBeaver. To prevent this, you need to set the string data types to Ansi either in the Advanced Settings tab of the driver configuration dialog or directly in the connection string (String Types=Ansi) — all string types will be returned as SQL_CHAR, SQL_VARCHAR and SQL_LONGVARCHAR.

Connecting to SQL Azure Data from DBeaver via ODBC Driver for SQL Azure

Follow the steps below to establish a connection to SQL Azure in DBeaver.

  1. In the Database menu, select New Database Connection.
  2. In the Connect to database wizard, select ODBC and click Next.
  3. Enter the previously configured DSN in the Database/Schema field.
  4. Click Test Connection. If everything goes well, you'll see the Success message.

Viewing SQL Azure Database Objects and Querying Data

You can expand out the database structure in DBeaver's Database Navigator to visualize all the tables in SQL Azure database. To view and edit the data in a table, you need to right-click on the target table name and select View data.The content of the table will be displayed in the main workspace.

If you want to write a custom SQL query that will include only the necessary columns from the table, you can select New SQL Editor in the SQL Editor main menu. Create your query and run it by clicking Execute SQL Statement to view the results in the same window.
