DBeaver is a SQL client software application and a database administration tool. For relational databases it uses the JDBC application programming interface (API) to interact with databases via a JDBC driver. For other databases (NoSQL) it uses proprietary database drivers. It provides an editor that supports code completion and syntax highlighting. It provides a plug-in architecture (based on the Eclipse plugins architecture) that allows users to modify much of the application's behavior to provide database-specific functionality or features that are database-independent. It is written in Jav

Free multi-platform database tool for developers, SQL programmers, database administrators and analysts. Has a lot of features including schema editor, SQL editor, data editor, AI integration, ER diagrams, data export/import/migration, SQL execution plans, database administration tools, database dashboards, Spatial data viewer, proxy and SSH tunnelling, custom database drivers editor, etc. Out of the box supports more than 100 database drivers . Supports any database which has JDBC or ODBC driver (basically - almost all existing databases). Supports smart AI completion and code generation with OpenAI or Copilot You can download prebuilt binaries from official website or directly from GitHub releases . You can also download Early Access version. We publish daily. Just run an installer and then click on app icon. Or unzip an archive and run dbeaver from command line. Note: DBeaver needs Java to run. OpenJDK 21 is included in all DBeaver distributions. You can change default JDK version by replacing directory jre in dbeaver installation folder. Architecture DBeaver is written mostly on Java. However, it also uses a set of native OS-specific components for desktop UI, high performance database drivers and networking. Basic frameworks: OSGI platform for plugins and dependency management. Community version consists of 130+ plugins. Eclipse RCP platform for rich user interface build. JDBC for basic database connectivity API. JSQLParser and Antlr4 for SQL grammar and semantic parser. For networking and additional functionality we use wide range of open source libraries such as SSHJ, Apache POI, JFreeChart, JTS, Apache JEXL etc. We separate model plugins from desktop UI plugins. This allows us to use the same set of "back-end" plugins in both DBeaver and CloudBeaver. Dependencies: being an OSGI application we use P2 repositories for third party dependencies. For additional Maven dependencies we use our own DBeaver P2 repo. Commercial versions extends functionality of many popular drivers and also support non-JDBC datasources such as: ODBC, MongoDB, Cassandra, Couchbase, CouchDB, Redis, InfluxDB, Firestore, BigTable, DynamoDB, Kafka KSQL, Neo4j, AWS Neptune, AWS Timestream, Azure CosmosDB, Yugabyte, Salesforce, etc. Also, we support flat files as databases: CSV, XLSX, Json, XML, Parquet. You can find the list of all databases supported in commercial versions here . Hooray, we have reached 50k+ stars on GitHub and continue to grow! That's really cool, and we are glad that you like DBeaver. We are actively looking for new source code contributors. We have added labels “Good first issue” and “Help wanted” to some tickets. If you want to be a part of our development team, just be brave and take a ticket. We are happy to reward our most active contributors every major sprint. You can buy one of our commercial versions . They include NoSQL databases support, additional extensions, and official online support. Also, licensed users have priorities in bug fixes and the development of new features. CloudBeaver is a web-based database management tool built on the DBeaver platform. It brings the capabilities of DBeaver to the web interface, enabling database management from any device with an internet connection and eliminating the need for local installation. Supporting any database, CloudBeaver incorporates most of DBeaver's features and includes advanced access management for secure collaboration. Designed with a user-friendly interface, CloudBeaver simplifies complex database operations and is suitable for both individual developers and organizations. Its scalable architecture accommodates various needs, making it a convenient solution for managing databases anytime and anywhere through web-based accessibility.
