DBeaver is Awesome!

If you're like me, I use DBeaver as the database client of choice.

DBeaver is a multiplatform tool for databases and supports a lot of different databases which makes it awesome!  However, there might be times when you run into hiccups while doing some operations, for example, dumping data from a mysql database.


1. Right click database

right-click-database

2. Click on local client button

click-local-client-button

3. Click browse

click-browse

4. Click add home

click-add-home

5. Locate mysql installation

Locate your mysql local installation, in my case this is in the opt folder of homebrew

Tip: 💡 use cmd + shift + . to reveal hidden files.

locate-hidden-file

eg. path /opt/homebrew/Cellar/mysql/bin

It should look something like this:

homebrew-cellar-mysql

As you'll see, the start button is now enabled!

local-client-enabled

Congratulations! I hope this helped! 🙌
