Installing DBeaver and Connecting to Postgres

Garry Bargsley tries out DBeaver:

Whether you’re a seasoned DBA or just exploring database tools, DBeaver offers a powerful, cross-platform GUI for interacting with PostgreSQL and many other databases. As a continuation of the previous blog post on installing PostgreSQL, this guide will walk through installing DBeaver and setting up a connection to the PostgreSQL instance we created.

My biggest takeaway the last time I used DBeaver was, SQL Server has a great thing going with SSMS. But in fairness, that was a while ago and things could very well have gotten better in the meantime. Also, if you have to connect to a variety of data platforms, DBeaver is a pretty solid choice.
