DBeaver can only see default PostgreSQL database in connection

I use DBeaver v 5.2.5 on Windows and use it to connect to PostgreSQL databases.

To create a connection, I must specify the database and I have no mean to see other databases on the same server.

A colleague using DBeaver 5.3 on Mac has an option to see all databases, not just the default one.

Is there an equivalent setup on the windows version?

Solution

  • On the connection, right-click -> Edit connection -> Connection settings -> on the tabbed panel, select PostgreSQL, check the box Show all databases.

    UPDATE 19.02.2024

    Checkbox is moved to Main Tab. So flow is:

    On the connection, right-click -> Edit connection -> Connection settings -> check the box Show all databases.
