Setup

Step 1: Download and Install DBeaver

If you haven’t already installed DBeaver, you can download it from the official website. Install the software following the instructions for your operating system.

Step 2: Retrieve Your Database Credentials

Before connecting, ensure you have the following MySQL database credentials from your server panel or hosting provider:

  • Host (e.g., mysql.yourserver.com or an IP address)
  • Port (default is 3306)
  • Database Name
  • Username
  • Password

If you don’t have these details, check your server’s Databases section in the control panel.

Step 3: Create a New Connection in DBeaver

  1. Open DBeaver.
  2. Click File > New > Database Connection or press Ctrl + N.
  3. In the Select Database window, choose MySQL, then click Next.
  4. Enter your database connection details:
    • Host: Your database’s hostname or IP address.
    • Port: 3306 (or the custom port if specified).
    • Database: The name of your MySQL database.
    • Username: Your database username.
    • Password: Your database password.
  5. Click Test Connection to ensure everything is correct. If successful, proceed to the next step.

Step 4: Save and Connect

  • Click Finish to save the connection.
  • In the Database Navigator, locate your new connection and expand it to access tables, schemas, and other database objects.

Additional Notes

  • If you experience connection issues, verify that your database host allows external connections. Some providers require you to whitelist your IP address.
  • Ensure that your firewall or security groups do not block MySQL’s default port (3306).
