DBeaver is an awesome SQL client and database management tool. It comes with drivers for the most popular databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite and many others, meaning you can learn one tool and use it across projects built on different technology stacks. 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. If you are happy to have the table structures as SQL CREATE statements, then you can just go to the navigator panel on the left, into 'Tables', select all the tables, then right click and Choose 'Generate SQL'. How to Connect PostgreSQL to DBeaver Open up your DBeaver program. Create a New connection by clicking the New Connection Wizard button in the application toolbar or in the Database Navigator view toolbar: Select PostgreSQL for the type of your database and click Next.

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.

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

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;
