To connect to a database: In the menu-bar, select Window Show View Database Navigator. The Database Navigator view is displayed. In the view's toolbar, click the Select active project icon to select a project you wish to create the database connection for. In the view's toolbar. I am sure connectivity as a whole is in place. I am troubleshoot my personal implementation. Make sure settings in dBeaver are correct and network open to snowflake.

Hi Choon Kiat, Thanks for the confirmation. I have checked further, 'Unable to obtain Principal Name for authentication' can happen when the JCE jars are not up to date on the client machine and not able to use the encryption key provided by Kerberos KDC. I have been using DBeaver since version 4.0 for my courses “Internet and Web Programming” and “Database Management Systems”.

DBeaver is an awesome SQL client and database management tool.

When you create a connection in dbeaver it doesn't create a new database. Database dbase must exist on server. You may leave database parameter (on connection properties page) empty to connect to the server. You can create new database by using right click.

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. How awesome is that?

Bellow are the steps you can use to connect your DBeaver client to a remote database server via SSH.

Note that you only need to do these steps once. The connection configurations will be saved and you can re-use them by right-click + connect.

This guide is created using DBeaver version 6.3.

Method 1: DBeaver via SSH with plain password

1. Create a new connection

Create a new connection by right clicking in your Database Navigator area.

2. Fill SSH details

Fill details under the SSH tab, and click Test tunnel configuration.

You should see a success message if the details were correct.

3. Fill database’s details

Now that DBeaver can connect via SSH, let’s go back to the General tab and fill in the database credentials:

Clicking Test Connection, you should see a success message. Click Finish.

Method 2: DBeaver with encrypted openssh private key file

If your server requires an openssh private key to login, follow the bellow steps:

1. Add SSHJ to DBeaver

You can do it by opening Help/Install New Software… and typing the following link: https://dbeaver.io/update/sshj/latest/

2. Connect

Use the same steps as Method 1, but adjust as follows:

1. On the SSH details menu (step 2), provide the password for your encrypted private key file.

2. Select SSHJ, under Implementation.

3. Change Authentication Method to Public Key.

4. Select your Private Key

5. Click Test tunnel configuration and Finish.

Install:

Windows installer – run installer executable. It will automatically upgrade version (if needed).
MacOS DMG – just run it and drag-n-drop DBeaver into Applications.
Debian package – run sudo dpkg -i dbeaver-<version>.deb. Then execute “dbeaver &”.
RPM package – run sudo rpm -ivh dbeaver-<version>.rpm. Then execute “dbeaver &”. Note: to upgrade use “-Uvh” parameter.
ZIP archive – extract archive and run “dbeaver” executable. Do not extract archive over previous version (remove previous version before install).

Upgrade – don’t be afraid to remove previous DBeaver version – your settings won’t be lost. All settings are kept in the separate folder (DBeaverData in user home)

Java notes:
DBeaver requires Java 11 or higher. Since version 7.3.1 all distributions include OpenJDK 11 bundle.
If you want to use you own locally installed Java you may delete folder “jre” in the DBeaver installation folder.
