DBeaver – third party tool


Last but not least, DBeaver (http://dbeaver.jkiss.org/) is a very cool multiplatform GUI frontend that can help you with your daily tasks if you are not such a big fan of the command line. Yes, sometimes sqlcmd is necessary and better, but why use it when we have the luxury not to?

So why have we chosen DBeaver? First, it is open source, free, and supports many different SQL and NoSQL databases. SQL Server is just one name on the big list:

  • SQL Server
  • MySQL
  • Oracle
  • PostgreSQL
  • IBM DB2
  • Access
  • Sybase
  • Java DB
  • Firebird
  • Derby
  • SQLite
  • Mimer
  • HSQLDB
  • H2
  • IBM Informix
  • Teradata
  • SAP MAX DB
  • Cache
  • Ingres
  • Linter
  • Vertica
  • MongoDB
  • Cassandra

If you're a database professional, or you are intending to be, then there is a big chance that you will have at least two or more different databases installed on your workstation. This might lead you to believe that DBeaver is the right tool for you.
