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.

Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: Run my query - select the result - export the result set - select export to clipboard - done; This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. Database Browser is a freeware database management software download filed under database software and made available by DB Software Laboratory for Windows. The review for Database Browser has not been completed yet, but it was tested by an editor here on a PC and a list of features has been compiled; see below. DBeaver: 4.1.13 Description: Trying to connect to one PostgreSQL 10 version database set with scram-sha-256 authentication using DBeaver, but getting the following error: org.postgresql.util.PSQLEx. 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. Create a JDBC Data Source for PostgreSQL Data Follow the steps below to load the driver JAR in DBeaver. Open the DBeaver application and, in the Databases menu, select the Driver Manager option. Click New to open the Create New Driver form.

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

Postgresql Dbeaver Database

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

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

Postgresql Dbeaver Connect

Postgresql Dbeaver Create Database

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.
