Database Navigator is the main view to work with the structure and content of databases. This navigator is one of the main parts of DBeaver, which displays all your database connections, and all our application users need it for their work. But not everyone knows that the navigation tree can be customized based on personal preferences and needs.
If you open any connection in your navigation tree of DBeaver Enterprise or DBeaver Ultimate, you will see a list of folders containing various database objects. But in the Lite version, only your database tables are displayed there. Why so?
In our previous article, we talked about two ways how to use diagrams with DBeaver. But ERD can be used not only to view and navigate through data but also to directly make changes to the database.
An Entity Relationship (ER) Diagram is a type of flowchart that illustrates how entities relate to each other within a system. In terms of a database management system, an entity is a table. So by showing relationships among tables, the ER diagram represents the complete logical structure of a database.
Our readers are already familiar with Louis, who not only uses DBeaver for his work but also uses it for his favorite hobby. He has a website where he regularly publishes information about films, and he stores all the necessary data in a database. Louis realized one day that it was not only he but also his readers who were interested in information about popular TV series.
DBeaver supports a large number of databases with different purposes. Relational databases remain the most common databases our users constantly work with, and our app offers a wide range of features for working with the data stored in them. For your convenience, we have added the ability to visualize data to our PRO versions as one more way to work with data.
In our previous article, we talked about transactions and how they work in DBeaver. When you are in the development and testing phase of your project, there is usually no need to keep track of transactions. But if we are talking about a production system, we need stricter control over reading and editing data. Therefore, DBeaver has Connection types that allow you to track transactions only when you need to.
If you work with databases, it is highly likely that you have already used transactions even if you weren’t aware of it. Let’s talk about what transactions are and how they work in DBeaver.
Our hero Louis, who you would have read about in one of our previous articles, has a new hobby. As he is quite fond of going to the cinema, he has created his own website with information about movies. Louis stores movie titles and descriptions, cast lists, and other information in a database and updates it regularly. And with DBeaver, he can easily keep his site up-to-date.
