DBeaver is intuitive and there are a lot of helpful tips that can aid you in configuring and exploring your database seamlessly. Before we get into DBeaver, you’ll need to setup YugabyteDB and install a sample database. For the purposes of this blog post we’ll be using the northwind sample database. DBeaver is an open source universal database manager that's previously been written about on TechRepublic.However, the software has grown since 2011, and there are two important features of.

Right-click on the Db Connection in the database navigator (right-click on PostgreSQL) Click on edit connection. SQL Server is not an object-oriented database and does not support table inheritance. However, a similar outcome is achievable through the use of DDL Triggers. PostgreSQL does not explicitly support nesting data. It does support arrays of arbitrary types, which has an equivalent effect: CREATE TYPE BeerType AS ( name CHAR(25).
SQL Server has a system stored procedure called sp_depends that returns information about dependencies between objects within the current database.
Microsoft has marked this stored procedure as deprecated, which means that it’s in maintenance mode and may be removed in a future version of SQL Server. You should avoid using sp_depends in new development work, and you should modify applications that currently use it to use either sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities() or sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities() instead (depending on whether you need referencing entities, or referenced entities to be returned.
The sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities() system dynamic management function returns a list of entities that depend on the given entity. More specifically, it returns all entities in the current database that reference another user-defined entity by name.

The sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities() system dynamic management function, on the other hand, returns a list of all user-defined entities that a specific entity depends on. More specifically, it returns all user-defined entities that are referenced by name, in the definition of a given entity. You can use this function for cross-database and cross-server entities.
Not Sure if You’re Currently Using sp_depends?
If you’re not sure whether your system uses sp_depends, you could always use sys.dm_os_performance_counters to find out. You can use this system dynamic management view to return a count of how many times each deprecated feature has been encountered since SQL Server was started. Check out Quickest Way to Find Deprecated Features Still Being Used in a SQL Server Instance for more info and examples.
A more elaborate method is to use extended events to create a log file that contains extra information about each usage of the deprecated feature. For example, you can record info such as the SQL statement that contains the deprecated feature, the user who ran it, the time it was run, the database it was in, and more. See Using Extended Events to Log Deprecated Features Being Used in a SQL Server Instance for step by step instructions on how to do that.

Step-by-step tutorial on connecting to SQL Server with DBeaver.
Once you've installed DBeaver, you'll probably want to connect to a database. below are instructions for connecting to SQL Server using DBeaver on a Mac.
Note that, although this tutorial uses SQL Server, DBeaver supports many different database management systems.
Dbeaver Database Not Showing Id
Launch DBeaver
Click on the DBeaver icon (either in your Launchpad or the Applications folder) to launch the DBeaver application.
Launch the New Connection Wizard
If this is the first time you've launched DBeaver, you'll probably be prompted with the Create new connection dialog.
Expand the SQL Server node, select jTDS driver, and click Next >.
For this tutorial I selected jTDS driver, but by all means select another driver if you prefer.
If the Create new connection wizard doesn't automatically appear when you open DBeaver, go to Database > New Connection to initiate this wizard.
Enter Connection Settings
Enter the connection settings for the SQL Server instance that you'd like to connect to.
If the SQL Server instance is running on your local machine, use localhost.
Also click Test Connection to see if there are going to be any problems with the connection or not.
Download Driver Files (if required)
The connection wizard will tell you if you need to download any driver files. If you do, select the file/s and click Download.
Success Dialog Box
Once the driver has downloaded, a Success dialog is displayed. Click OK.
This dialog box would have appeared at the previous step if you didn't need to download a driver.
Continue with the Connection
Now that the driver has been downloaded, click Next > to continue with the connection.
Network Settings
This step gives you the option of entering any network settings that are required to access the SQL Server.
In this case, the SQL Server is running locally, so leave the default settings and click Next >.
Finish
Change any settings as required. For this tutorial, I left them all at the default settings.
Click Finish to create the connection.
That's it. We just made a new connection to SQL Server with DBeaver.
