dbvr 26.1

June 8, 2026

Changes since 26.0:

Connectivity and Infrastructure:

  • Added support for the inner query manager database to keep all executed queries in one place. 
  • Added a -stateless flag for headless mode. Users can run the application without local state storage, disabling automatic driver updates and query history features.
  • Added support for cloud-oriented commands by connecting the cloud configuration files generated by DBeaver. The commands allow users to list available cloud data sources and connect to them. Documentation
  • Added a command for creating, updating, and deleting secret managers to store database connection secrets. It supports AWS Secret Management, Vault, and CyberArk. Documentation
  • Added the ability to set the default project in the workspace using the command.
  • Improved connection creation. Users could no longer mix –url with other settings such as –host or –port.
  • Added the move command to move the datasource from one project to another.

SQL Execution:

  • Added the –print-queries parameter for SQL query execution command to show the query as the output parameter. Documentation
  • Added the –disable-output parameter for SQL query execution command to skip the output part after the command execution.
  • Added an ability to use DbUnit as an output format for the SQL command.

Commands:

  • Added MCP (Model Context Protocol) server support. Users can generate a configuration to expose access to a database to external AI tools. This integration enables AI assistants to explore database structures and execute queries in accordance with the configured user permissions and specified access level. Documentation
  • Added metadata exploration commands. Users can list database components and retrieve object definitions directly from the terminal. This capability allowed teams to inspect database structures without opening a separate application. Documentation
  • Optimized the execution time for many commands. Now the application works faster.
  • Updated the CLI help format to organize all commands and options into a single view. Marked required parameters at the top, removed internal settings, and added usage examples.

License Management:

  • Added the ability to specify the license path via the environment variable DBVR_LICENSE_CUSTOM_PATH
  • Added the delete-license command for license deletion and the list-license command for displaying licenses in the application. Documentation
