Check out popular companies that use DBeaver and some tools that integrate with DBeaver. PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Sybase, Teradata, MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, etc. DBeaver is a tool in the Database Tools category of a tech stack. DBeaver is an open source tool with 20K GitHub stars and 1.9K GitHub forks. DBeaver EE supports Cassandra schema browser, data viewer and CQL queries execution. Also it supports various administrative tools. You can connect directly to a server or use SSH tunneling or SOCKS proxy. DBeaver uses DataStax Java driver 3.5.1 to operate with server.

Download and use dbeaver enterprise edition (for free as well, not open source though) which includes cassandra driver by default.

The CData JDBC Driver for Cassandra implements JDBC standards that enable third-party tools to interoperate, from wizards in IDEs to business intelligence tools. This article shows how to connect to Cassandra data with wizards in DBeaver and browse data in the DBeaver GUI.

Create a JDBC Data Source for Cassandra Data

Follow the steps below to load the driver JAR in DBeaver.

1. Open the DBeaver application and, in the Databases menu, select the Driver Manager option. Click New to open the Create New Driver form.
2. In the Driver Name box, enter a user-friendly name for the driver.
3. To add the .jar, click Add File.
4. In the create new driver dialog that appears, select the cdata.jdbc.cassandra.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
5. Click the Find Class button and select the CassandraDriver class from the results. This will automatically fill the Class Name field at the top of the form. The class name for the driver is cdata.jdbc.cassandra.CassandraDriver.
6. Add jdbc:cassandra: in the URL Template field.

Create a Connection to Cassandra Data

Follow the steps below to add credentials and other required connection properties.

1. In the Databases menu, click New Connection.
2. In the Create new connection wizard that results, select the driver.
3. On the next page of the wizard, click the driver properties tab.

4. Enter values for authentication credentials and other properties required to connect to Cassandra.

   Set the Server, Port, and Database connection properties to connect to Cassandra. Additionally, to use internal authentication set the User and Password connection properties.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Cassandra JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.cassandra.jar

   Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:cassandra:Database=MyCassandraDB;Port=7000;Server=127.0.0.1;

Query Cassandra Data

You can now query information from the tables exposed by the connection: Right-click a Table and then click Edit Table. The data is available on the Data tab.

Tested and verified for MS Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

Install:

Windows installer – run installer executable. It will automatically upgrade version (if needed).
MacOS DMG – just run it and drag-n-drop DBeaver into Applications.
Debian package – run sudo dpkg -i dbeaver-<version>.deb. Then execute “dbeaver &”.
RPM package – run sudo rpm -ivh dbeaver-<version>.rpm. Then execute “dbeaver &”. Note: to upgrade use “-Uvh” parameter.
ZIP archive – extract archive and run “dbeaver” executable. Do not extract archive over previous version (remove previous version before install).

Upgrade – don’t be afraid to remove previous DBeaver version – your settings won’t be lost. All settings are kept in the separate folder (DBeaverData in user home)

Java notes:
DBeaver requires Java 11 or higher. Since version 7.3.1 all distributions include OpenJDK 11 bundle.
If you want to use you own locally installed Java you may delete folder “jre” in the DBeaver installation folder.

Debian repository:

Ubuntu PPA:
You can use PPA repository to easily install/upgrade DBeaver on Debian Linuxes. Mostly it is the same as regular Debian repo but it is hosted on Launchpad.

Early Access:

You may get latest build (EA version) of DBeaver. Usually it contains all major bug fixes found in current stable version. Just choose the archive corresponding to your OS and hardware from the following folder: EA version downloads.
