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 retains older 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. The publisher offered Community 26.2.0 on September 11, 2026. Its current download page describes a bundled Java 25 runtime, while the tagged 26.1.5 product configuration specifies a Java 21 minimum. That source setting does not identify the exact runtime inside every archived binary. Keep the package’s runtime intact and consult release-specific requirements before replacing it. The twelve reference hashes in this page’s expandable panel match the exact GitHub release-asset metadata; the website’s listed checksum sidecars returned 404 during this check. This audit did not download the packages, inspect their bundled runtime or platform signatures, or run them.
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.
