What DBeaver does
DBeaver Community is the Apache-licensed desktop database client for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It provides SQL editing, connection profiles, data and result grids, metadata browsing, import/export tools, and entity-relationship views through database drivers. Exact database coverage and behavior depend on the Community edition, the selected JDBC or ODBC driver, server version, connection configuration, and granted permissions; features advertised for DBeaver PRO or other editions are not attributed to Community here.
This record pins Community 26.1.5 across the publisher's Windows x64 and ARM64 EXE and ZIP packages, Intel and Apple-silicon Mac disk images, and Linux x64 and ARM64 DEB, RPM, and tar.gz packages. DBeaver's download page says current distributions include an OpenJDK 25 bundle, so these package rows are not instructions to install a separate JRE. The archive directory lists the sizes, while its checksum directory publishes the SHA-256 values transcribed below. This audit did not run the packages or inspect platform signatures.
Driver definitions are built in, but every required driver library is not necessarily preloaded. DBeaver can retrieve Maven-hosted driver JARs, and unsupported or vendor-restricted drivers may need files supplied manually. A controlled deployment should stage and approve the exact driver files, licenses, certificates, connection settings, and any native database tools it needs. Driver updates, application updates, remote databases, cloud services, map backgrounds, and optional integrations can require connectivity. The Windows ZIP and Linux tar archives avoid a package installer, but the workspace, credentials, drivers, logs, and update state persist separately.
Database actions carry the permissions of the configured account and can modify or export sensitive data. Verify transaction and auto-commit settings, TLS and SSH configuration, credential storage, target environment, and backup procedures before executing write operations or administrative tools.
