- DBeaver - A Universal Database Tool. HeidiSQL - GUI client for MariaDB, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL.
- If not, then you need to change the authentication method for that user or use a different mysql client. You can check dbeaver documentation for the former and find the answer for the latter here on SO. – Shadow Oct 6 '20 at 11:17.
- DBeaver is an awesome SQL client and database management tool. It comes with drivers for the most popular databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite and many others, meaning you can learn one tool and use it across projects built on different technology stacks.
- HeidiSQL, Navicat for MySQL, and DBeaver are probably your best bets out of the 15 options considered. 'Free' is the primary reason people pick HeidiSQL over the competition. This page is powered by a knowledgeable community that helps you make an informed decision.
Dbeaver Mysql Client_plugin_auth Is Required
The docs imply DBeaver will just find it if it exists in the normal places or if I have MySQL Workbench installed, which I do (version 6 and 8), but it doesn't. I've been using MySQL Workbench for normal database stuff, then Sequel Pro for importing (because the progress bar actually works), and I had DBeaver recommended to me yesterday, but.
The CData JDBC Driver for MySQL 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 MySQL data with wizards in DBeaver and browse data in the DBeaver GUI.

Create a Connection to MySQL Data
Follow the steps below to add credentials and other required connection properties.
- In the Databases menu, click New Connection.
- In the Create new connection wizard that results, select the driver.
- On the next page of the wizard, click the driver properties tab.
Enter values for authentication credentials and other properties required to connect to MySQL.
The Server and Port properties must be set to a MySQL server. If IntegratedSecurity is set to false, then User and Password must be set to valid user credentials. Optionally, Database can be set to connect to a specific database. If not set, tables from all databases will be returned.
Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the MySQL JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.mysql.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
Below is a typical connection string:
jdbc:mysql:User=myUser;Password=myPassword;Database=NorthWind;Server=myServer;Port=3306;
Query MySQL 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.
