Architecture

• DBeaver is written mostly on Java. However, it also uses a set of native OS-specific components for desktop UI, high performance database drivers and networking.
• Basic frameworks:
• OSGI platform for plugins and dependency management. Community version consists of 130+ plugins.
• Eclipse RCP platform for rich user interface build.
• JDBC for basic database connectivity API.
• JSQLParser and Antlr4 for SQL grammar and semantic parser.
• For networking and additional functionality we use wide range of open source libraries such as SSHJ, Apache POI, JFreeChart, JTS, Apache JEXL etc.
• We separate model plugins from desktop UI plugins. This allows us to use the same set of "back-end" plugins in both DBeaver and CloudBeaver.
• Dependencies: being an OSGI application we use P2 repositories for third party dependencies. For additional Maven dependencies we use our own DBeaver P2 repo.

AI integration

• All DBeaver products contain AI Chat view similar to classic LLM chats.
• You can generate/analyse/optimize your SQL queries, work with database structure or even work with databases with a very little knowledge of SQL.
• We use smart chat context which provides LLMs details about database structure, SQL dialect, etc.
• LLM integration uses context-dependent dynamic tools and is very efficient from token consumption point of view.
• AI providers in Community version:
• OpenAI (allows to configure most of existing LLMs with custom endpoint)
• Copilot
• Pro versions provide additional AI tools + native support of Anthropic/Grok/Azure/Bedrock/Gemini/Ollama providers.
