# Integrate DBeaver with Tiger Cloud

> Manage and query your data with a cross-platform SQL editor and administration tool

export const SERVICE_SHORT = 'service';

export const CLOUD_LONG = 'Tiger Cloud';

export const SERVICE_LONG = 'Tiger Cloud service';

export const SELF_LONG = 'self-hosted TimescaleDB';

[DBeaver][dbeaver] is a free cross-platform database tool for developers, database administrators, analysts, and everyone working with data. DBeaver provides an SQL editor, administration features, data and schema migration, and the ability to monitor database connection sessions.

This page explains how to integrate DBeaver with your {SERVICE_LONG}.

## Prerequisites

To follow the steps on this page:

* Create a target [{SERVICE_LONG}][create-service] with Real-time analytics enabled.<p />

  You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also
  works for [{SELF_LONG}][enable-timescaledb].

[create-service]: /deploy-and-operate/tiger-cloud/get-started/create-services

[enable-timescaledb]: /deploy-and-operate/self-hosted/install-and-update/install-self-hosted

[connection-info]: /integrations/find-connection-details

* Download and install [DBeaver][dbeaver-downloads].

## Connect DBeaver to your service

To connect to {CLOUD_LONG}:

1. **Start `DBeaver`**

2. **In the toolbar, click the plug+ icon**

3. **In `Connect to a database` search for `TimescaleDB`**

4. **Select `TimescaleDB`, then click `Next`**

5. **Configure the connection**

   Use your [connection details][connection-info] to add your connection settings.
   ![DBeaver integration][dbeaver-integration]

   If you configured your {SERVICE_SHORT} to connect using a [stricter SSL mode][ssl-mode], in the `SSL` tab check
   `Use SSL` and set `SSL mode` to the configured mode. Then, in the `CA Certificate` field type the location of the SSL
   root CA certificate.

6. **Click `Test Connection`. When the connection is successful, click `Finish`**

   Your connection is listed in the `Database Navigator`.

You have successfully integrated DBeaver with {CLOUD_LONG}.
