How to Create a Connection to PostgreSQL Data

1. First, we have to open our DBeaver application and click the Database button.
2. Then, we must click New Database Connection.
3. Now, we have to choose the Database we want to connect to. Hence, we will select PostgreSQL and click Next.
4. Once the Connection Settings tab opens up, it picks up the details of our system or host by default. We can enter the Database properties, as well as the password of the Postgres Database User.
5. Next, click Edit Driver Settings.
6. After that click the Add File button. This will add the .jar file of the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver downloaded in the previous step.
7. Next, we have to locate the postgresql.jar file in the installation directory and click OK.
8. In case we see a message about missing Drivers, we can click Download.
9. After that, we can test the connection by clicking Test Connection. Click Finish if we see a Connected message.

After the above steps, we will be able to see our Database in the list.
