DBeaver is available in multiple offerings. In this guide [DBeaver Community](https://dbeaver.io/) is used. See the various offerings and capabilities [here](https://dbeaver.com/edition/).  DBeaver connects to ClickHouse using JDBC.

<Note>
  Please use DBeaver version 23.1.0 or above for improved support of `Nullable` columns in ClickHouse.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Gather your ClickHouse details" id="1-gather-your-clickhouse-details">
    DBeaver uses JDBC over HTTP(S) to connect to ClickHouse; you need:

    * endpoint
    * port number
    * username
    * password
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download DBeaver" id="2-download-dbeaver">
    DBeaver is available at [https://dbeaver.io/download/](https://dbeaver.io/download/)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a database" id="3-add-a-database">
    * Either use the **Database > New Database Connection** menu or the **New Database Connection** icon in the **Database Navigator** to bring up the **Connect to a database** dialog:

    <Image img="https://mintcdn.com/private-7c7dfe99-detect-table-modification/sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w/images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-add-database.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w&q=85&s=44103f5900f1bd90f591c126a90c12f3" size="md" border alt="Add a new database" width="642" height="385" data-path="images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-add-database.webp" />

    * Select **Analytical** and then **ClickHouse**:

    * Build the JDBC URL. On the **Main** tab set the Host, Port, Username, Password, and Database:

    <Image img="https://mintcdn.com/private-7c7dfe99-detect-table-modification/sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w/images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-host-port.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w&q=85&s=1ce5e7d89fca74d9a18146102dfb3438" size="md" border alt="Set the hostname, port, user, password, and database name" width="650" height="654" data-path="images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-host-port.webp" />

    * By default the **SSL > Use SSL** property will be unset, if you're connecting to ClickHouse Cloud or a server that requires SSL on the HTTP port, then set **SSL > Use SSL** on:

    <Image img="https://mintcdn.com/private-7c7dfe99-detect-table-modification/sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w/images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-use-ssl.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w&q=85&s=1d381b53bc8ba7b32260ee76a958ca8f" size="md" border alt="Enable SSL if required" width="650" height="654" data-path="images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-use-ssl.webp" />

    * Test the connection:

    <Image img="https://mintcdn.com/private-7c7dfe99-detect-table-modification/sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w/images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-test-connection.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w&q=85&s=761b61f40e417370d00c92a55cab106a" size="md" border alt="Test the connection" width="650" height="654" data-path="images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-test-connection.webp" />

    If DBeaver detects that you don't have the ClickHouse driver installed it will offer to download them for you:

    <Image img="https://mintcdn.com/private-7c7dfe99-detect-table-modification/sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w/images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-download-driver.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w&q=85&s=61c84fdce9a426fb60def6de4554f1cb" size="md" border alt="Download the ClickHouse driver" width="612" height="689" data-path="images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-download-driver.webp" />

    * After downloading the driver **Test** the connection again:

    <Image img="https://mintcdn.com/private-7c7dfe99-detect-table-modification/sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w/images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-test-connection.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w&q=85&s=761b61f40e417370d00c92a55cab106a" size="md" border alt="Test the connection" width="650" height="654" data-path="images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-test-connection.webp" />
  </Step>

  <Step title="Query ClickHouse" id="4-query-clickhouse">
    Open a query editor and run a query.

    * Right click on your connection and choose **SQL Editor > Open SQL Script** to open a query editor:

    <Image img="https://mintcdn.com/private-7c7dfe99-detect-table-modification/sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w/images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-sql-editor.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=sWsbrb2bBAr-0f9w&q=85&s=4c870736a7ab7064a4b987bf2fa945ca" size="md" border alt="Open the SQL editor" width="636" height="162" data-path="images/integrations/sql-clients/dbeaver-sql-editor.webp" />

    * An example query against `system.query_log`:
