Database Workbench vs DBeaver

Database Workbench is a desktop IDE for designing, implementing, documenting and maintaining databases. It lists support for Oracle, Firebird, SQL Server, InterBase, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB and NexusDB. Design tools include logical and physical diagrams, reverse engineering, visual object editors, migration and schema comparison. SQL Insight offers join completion in the SQL and code editors, alongside a drag-and-drop Visual Query Builder. Users can view and edit data, import and export it, transfer data between sources, compare data and work with BLOBs. The product also includes test data generation, query profiling, stored procedure debugging and custom reports through Report Manager. Professional adds ODBC and ADO connections and data pumping. Enterprise adds shared servers and databases, non-local workspaces, team to-do lists, shared code catalogs and built-in version control. It is described as a 64-bit Windows application that can run on Linux via Wine. Free Lite editions are listed for Firebird and MySQL, and a Trial Pro Edition is available. A SQLite module license is needed for full SQLite tools in Pro and Enterprise.

DBeaver is a database management product range that includes a free, open-source Community edition and paid editions. Community supports databases with a JDBC driver and can also work with external data sources that lack one. Its desktop tools include an SQL editor, spreadsheet-like data editing, a visual query builder, and tools for importing, exporting, comparing, and migrating data. DBeaver says its products connect to more than 100 sources, including SQL, NoSQL, and cloud databases. Ultimate adds native AWS, GCP, and Azure support with Cloud Explorer for cloud and on-premise databases. The wider range includes CloudBeaver Enterprise as a web-server application and Team Edition as a server platform with GraphQL and REST APIs, an MCP server, and a JDBC proxy driver. DBeaver supports Windows 10 or later, Windows Server 2016 or later, macOS 11 or later, and most modern Linux distributions. Community is free under Apache License 2. Paid individual subscriptions include Lite at $12 a month or $113 a year, Enterprise at $26 a month or $255 a year, and Ultimate at $51 a month or $510 a year.
