What is DBeaver?
DBeaver is a free, open-source database tool that supports virtually every database you'll encounter: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB, and 80+ more. The consistent interface means you learn one tool for all your database work. Features include a visual query builder, ER diagram generation, data export/import, and SQL formatting. The dark theme and customizable interface make extended database work comfortable. Extensions add support for additional databases and features. For developers who work with multiple database types or can't justify TablePlus's price, DBeaver is excellent. The Community Edition is fully featured for most uses; Enterprise adds NoSQL support and additional features for teams.
