DBeaver connects to AWS PostgreSQL | How-to

DBeaver is a well-known, open-source universal database tool. It supports different database management systems, like PostgreSQL.

Connecting DBeaver to an Amazon Web Services PostgreSQL database involves a few steps. Here, is a guide on how to connect DBeaver to an AWS PostgreSQL instance:

• • First, we have to download and install DBeaver from the official website.
  • Then, head to the RDS section in the AWS Management Console and find our PostgreSQL instance. We have to note down these connection details:
    • Endpoint (host)
    • Port
    • Database name
    • Master username
    • Master user password
  • Next, we have to launch Dbeaver.
  • After that, we have to create a new connection to our AWS PostgreSQL instance by clicking on Database.
  • Then, click New Database Connection and head to the connection settings box, and enter these details:
    • General Tab:
      • Connection Name
      • Host: Enter the PostgreSQL endpoint from step 2.
      • Port: Enter the port number from step 2.
      • Database/User/Password: Enter the database name, master username, and password from step 2.
    • SSH/SSL Tab (Optional):
      • If the AWS PostgreSQL instance uses SSH or SSL, we can configure the settings here.
    • Then, we must click Test Connection to make sure that DBeaver can connect to our AWS PostgreSQL instance.
  • Finally, click Finish to save the connection configuration.
  • Now, we can explore our AWS PostgreSQL database with Dbeaver.
