Database drivers
DBeaver uses database drivers to connect to different databases. Drivers are small components that translate application requests into database-specific commands. Most drivers are bundled or can be downloaded automatically. If a driver is missing, you can add it manually using the Driver Manager.
DBeaver works with a wide range of databases:
- SQL databases - PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, SQLite, Firebird, H2, and more
- NoSQL databases - MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, DynamoDB, etc.
- Cloud services - Amazon RDS, Aurora, Google Cloud Spanner, Snowflake, BigQuery, and others
- Analytics platforms - ClickHouse, Vertica, Greenplum, Redshift, and more
For details, see the list of supported databases for your edition:
You can also use Cloud Explorer to browse and manage cloud resources like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure directly in DBeaver.
By default, DBeaver uses JDBC drivers, which are Java libraries (.jar files). Lite, Enterprise, and Ultimate
editions also support ODBC drivers.
For details, see ODBC driver.
