Thank you for downloading DBeaver!

DBeaver is a multi-platform universal database manager and SQL Client.

It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, DB2, MSSQL, Sybase, Mimer, HSQLDB,
Derby, and any database that has a JDBC driver.

It is a GUI program that allows to view/edit the structure of a database,

execute SQL queries and scripts, browse and export table data,
handle BLOB/CLOB values, modify database meta objects, etc.

Installing DBeaver
========================
Use automatic installer distribution (Windows and Linux versions)
or just unpack archive and start "dbeaver" executable.

Note: do not extract archive in the same folder where older version
of DBeaver is installed.
Remove previous version or extract archive in another folder.

Command line parameters

========================

-data <path>
Store all projects/configuration in folder <path>. By default DBeaver
stores all its data in user's home ".dbeaver" folder.
<path> could be an absolute or relative directory name.
If you want to use DBeaver as redistributable program start it
with arguments like "dbeaver -data workspace".

-nl locale
Use specified locale instead of default one.
Example: -nl en (use English locale).

-vm <java vm path>

Use Java VM installed in <java vm path> folder instead of default
location.

-vmargs <jvm parameters>

Allows to pass any number of additional parameters to JVM.
Additional parameters may be used to customize environment or
3-rd party jdbc drivers.
