DBeaver

Connect the DBeaver SQL client to an e6data cluster using the e6data JDBC driver.

DBeaver Community is an open-source SQL editor and universal database tool installed as a local application. Connect it to an e6data cluster with the e6data JDBC driver.

Requirements

• DBeaver 23.3.3 or newer.
• The latest e6data JDBC driver.
• The connection details from the cluster's Connection Information tab - the JDBC URL, your username, and your password (a personal access token).

The JDBC URL for a Direct endpoint:

jdbc:e6data://<host>:<port>/database=<database_name>&catalog=<catalog_name>

For a TLS endpoint:

jdbc:e6data://<host>:<port>/database=<database_name>&catalog=<catalog_name>&secure=true&cluster-uuid=<cluster_uuid>

Connect

1. Gather the connection details for your cluster.
2. Go to Database → Driver Manager and click New.
3. Give the driver a name.
4. In Libraries, click Add File and add the e6data JDBC driver, then Find Class.
5. Confirm the class name is populated and create the driver.
6. Create a new database connection using the new driver.
7. Enter the JDBC URL, username, and password, and test the connection.

The JDBC driver class name is io.e6.jdbc.driver.E6Driver.

TLS/HTTPS

e6data uses globally trusted certificates, so the host and port from the connection dialog are sufficient. Any cluster requiring authentication also requires TLS/HTTPS - use the cluster's HTTPS URL in the connection string.
