Pre-configured variables
Overview
DBeaver includes pre-configured variables that facilitate automatic insertion. These variables allow for customization
by integrating predefined environment or user-specific information. Variables such as ${host} and ${port} are used
to dynamically adjust connection details, whereas ${date} and ${time} can be directly employed in SQL scripts for
operations such as logging.
Tip
You can create your own custom variables in the Variables panel to suit your specific needs.
