Re: dBeaver

Hi Steve - many thanks.

As you'll have seen from my earlier post I did try a reinstall and this time stuff showed up!

I am only seeing these 8 components:

DBeaver Core 5.2.0.201809092115 org.jkiss.dbeaver.core.feature.feature.group JKISS
DBeaver DB2 Extension 2.1.77.201809092115 org.jkiss.dbeaver.ext.db2.feature.feature.group JKISS
DBeaver Debug 5.2.0.201809092115 org.jkiss.dbeaver.debug.feature.feature.group JKISS
DBeaver Exasol Extension 1.0.50.201809092115 org.jkiss.dbeaver.ext.exasol.feature.feature.group JKISS
DBeaver Generic Extension 2.1.78.201809092115 org.jkiss.dbeaver.ext.generic.feature.feature.group JKISS
DBeaver MySQL Extension 2.1.77.201809092115 org.jkiss.dbeaver.ext.mysql.feature.feature.group JKISS
DBeaver Oracle Extension 2.1.77.201809092115 org.jkiss.dbeaver.ext.oracle.feature.feature.group JKISS
DBeaver Runtime 5.2.0.201809092115 org.jkiss.dbeaver.runtime.feature.feature.group JKISS

Not sure what you have that I don't.

I also have found the missing views. Foolishly I was expecting them to have dBeaver in the names but they are all lurking under the "Database" heading I now see. It was the color/shape of the icons that was the giveaway in the end.

The performance is amazingly fast except when running against a table the first time when I assumed a lot of caching goes on.

I notice that it sorta/kinda works to drag multiple columns into the editor but while it lists all the names it doesn't add the commas which is a pty. Sadly it does not interact in drag/drop mode with RSE Table view or tree view which is a pity. They show the green "+" indication as if they were droppable but nothing happens.

Pity that more tools like this don't integrate with the RSE view rather than have their own schema list.

One other question for you. Have you found a way to stop it from showing all the Qxxx and #xxx tables? Takes forever for me to locate the tables I need.

Jon,

After installing the plug-in, when I look at Installation Details I see nine
(9) DBeaver entries. At the top of the screen, between Project and Run (I
also have iSphere and DBU/Server in there), there is an entry as SQL Editor.
When I select that, there is an option for New SQL Editor. That spawns a
pop-up window to select a Data Source. Once chosen that prompts for a log
on to the server and then a new tab is open within RDi with the DBeaver
software loaded. From a version perspective, the DBeaver core, debug, and
runtime are all 5.1.4.

Does that help at all? Maybe you need to remove and re-install? I know I
have to do that a lot with various plug-ins for RDi and the miraculously
they work.

Let me know if that helps.

After it was mentioned here the other day I decided to give dBeaver another
try as I had not realized it could be plugged in to RDi.

The good news is that the stand-alone version it is light years better than
the last time I tried it.

The bad news is that although it installed with no errors into RDi I cannot
for the life of me find a perspective, or wizard, or window or ... well any
sign at all that it is there. How do I use it within RDi? I can't find
anything in the docs - that all seems be related to the stand-alone version.

Anyone got a clue as to what I need to do?
