DBeaver adding to knime platform

Hello,

Is it possible to add the eclipse extension DBeaver to the Knime platform?

When I would like to open my database and do some administrative work on it I have to open another program. It would be a nice to have to do this in Knime.

I don’t know if this is feasible.

Thanks
Johnny

Hi @Johnny_Gel,

While this seems to be possible, be aware that this might lead to strange problems that we will not really be able to help you with as this something we do not test and can’t recommend.

If you still want to try this add the following update site to your analytics platform:
https://dbeaver.io/update/latest/
you can do that by going to Help → Install new Software.
Then you can install dbBeaver using the same menu.
You can switch to the dBeaver perspective using the find actions tool:

Hi @gab1one

Ok I understand it is not supported.
Can I added and when I encounter problems, remove it safely?

Hi Johnny,

I’d say chances are high, that you can safely uninstall the plugin if something goes wrong. However, we do not support or test other eclipse plugins, so we can’t promise anything here. I would suggest only installing the plugin in a test environment. You could e.g. download another copy of KNIME Analytics Platform.

Kind regards
Marvin
