DBeaver Database Tunnel

Table of contents

Overview

The DBeaver Database Tunnel is a feature designed to simplify and secure database access. It enables the Team Edition desktop client to connect seamlessly to databases that are accessible only via the Team Edition web client. This feature provides a secure way to connect to remote databases without requiring direct network access or complex configuration.

Read more on the Team Edition server deployment.

How it works
  • The database must be accessible from the machine(s) running the Team Edition server.
  • The primary Tunnel configuration is done on the server, with minimal setup required on the desktop side.
  • The desktop client connects to the database through the Tunnel, which routes the connection to the Team Edition server. The server then connects directly to the database, acting as a bridge between the desktop client and the database.

  • The Tunnel feature is only available in the desktop client, as the web client connects directly to the database through the server.
