Re: DBeaver and RDi

Hadn't seen this before.

Looks like Squirrel kind of. Wonder if it's a fork.

Have you use DBeaver before ?

subject: [WDSCI-L] DBeaver and RDi

Folks, I wonder if anyone else has experience with the DBeaver plug-in with RDi? I?m having a little difficulty getting the Help to work.

BACKGROUND
I?ve used Quantum DB for quick, simple execuation of SQL scripts. However, this Eclipse plug-in has not been updated since 2011. (It still works just fine, but there have been no recent enhancements ? which suggests it is has been ?stabilised?.) I?ve been looking at other alternatives. (I am familiar with IBM Data Studio, ACS, Database Development perspective, Squirrel, SQL Explorer, etc.) In my searches, came across DBeaver:

PROBLEM
DBeaver looks to be a very powerful tool for SQL support _and_ is subject to on-going enhancements. It is delivered as a (free) standalone Eclipse tool ? or as a plug-in. I?ve tried the standalone tool, (on Windows) ? well worth a look! I have also installed the plug-in within RDi and it appears to work just fine ? except I get errors when accessing the Help,

?For security reasons, farming is not allowed?

I have linked to the same Help website as is used in the standalone tool, but RDi kicks up the above error. I know this is a long shot, but I wondered if anyone else is already using DBeaver within RDi successfully ? and has got the Help to work.
