I use redshift occasionally for playing with some data. Its an amazing service(a datawarehousing solution) from AWS that you can use for analyzing large amounts of data.
Every time I need to use redshift (every couple of months) I begin my search for a decent client that I can use. A google search does not result in something concrete right off with full of discussions on quora and other places.

Active 1 year ago. Viewed 10k times 2. I have a MySQL database on AWS. Here are some of the settings: DB instance id - database-2. Browse other questions tagged mysql amazon-web-services rds or ask your own question. To connect with the RDS instances in the private subnet from local machine using DBeaver we have to execute the below steps. Create an EC2 Instance in the Public subnet and configure networking Configure RDS instance security group so that the EC2 instance can connect with it. 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. Open the DBeaver application and, in the Databases menu, select the Driver Manager option. Click New to open the Create New Driver form. In the Driver Name box, enter a user-friendly name for the driver. To add the.jar, click Add File.
AWS official guides use SQL workbench. I found it lacking in basic features like displaying the list of connections, databases, schemas, tables, etc. The whole reason I am using GUI is that I don’t have to remember the database objects.
While any postgres GUI clients would work for running basic queries on redshift, things like IAM authentication, federated authentication require redshift JDBC drivers that I need to use.
Since I am only an occasional user I needed a free tool (preferably open source) to do the job and am not looking to pay for the software.
My final set of requirements for the tool were:
- Provides decent GUI.
- Can use redshift JDBC drivers.
- Can run on multiple platforms (mac, windows)
- Free(Permissive enough licensing for me to use it for commercial purposes. I support customers making my use commercial.) or open source.
After some search and trying out a couple of clients I stumbled on DBeaver. I am not going to provide a comparison of multiple tools that I tried but will focus on DBeaver that met my requirements.
My take:
- It is built on eclipse - so kinda heavy - but worked without any challenge.
- A generic SQL client that can connect to any database given the JDBC driver.
- Works on mac, windows and linux.
- It’s open source (Apache license)
While my needs are not extreme and I have not tested DBeaver to its full extent, it could work for a heavy user too. Check it out. All the best.
You can use the Elasticsearch JDBC driver to access Elasticsearch data from DBeaver.
Elastic does not endorse, promote or provide support for this application; for native Elasticsearch integration in this product, please reach out to its vendor.
- DBeaver version 6.0.0 or higher
- Elasticsearch SQL JDBC driver
Create a new connection either through the menu File > New > Database Connection menu or directly through the Database Connection panel.
Select the Elasticsearch type from the available connection types:
Configure the Elasticsearch SQL connection appropriately:
Make sure the correct JDBC driver version is used by using the Edit Driver Settings button:
DBeaver is aware of the Elasticsearch JDBC maven repository so simply Download/Update the artifact or add a new one. As an alternative one can add a local file instead if the Elasticsearch Maven repository is not an option.
When changing the driver, make sure to click on the Find Class button at the bottom - the Driver class should be picked out automatically however this provides a sanity check that the driver jar is properly found and it is not corrupt.
Once the driver version and the settings are in place, use Test Connection to check that everything works. If things are okay, one should get a confirmation window with the version of the driver and that of Elasticsearch SQL:
Dbeaver Aws Athena
Click Finish and the new Elasticsearch connection appears in the Database Connection panel.
DBeaver is now configured to talk to Elasticsearch.
Simply click on the Elasticsearch connection and start querying and exploring Elasticsearch:
Dbeaver Aws Aurora
