Third-party tool listings audit
Audited Aug 2026. Beekeeper listed on 5 of 26 supported databases; DBeaver on ~12.
TODO, community docs
- Redis: Add Beekeeper to the "Third-party tools" section of https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/tools/ (currently lists only LibreDB Studio; page has an "Edit this page" link ->
redis/docsrepo). Our Redis support is free-tier. - Trino: Add Beekeeper to https://trino.io/ecosystem/client-application.html (DBeaver, DbVisualizer, DataGrip already listed; lives in the
trinodb/trino.iorepo) - Cassandra: Add Beekeeper to https://cassandra.apache.org/_/ecosystem.html (page explicitly invites PRs via
apache/cassandra-website; neither we nor DBeaver are listed, DbVisualizer and AxonOps Workbench are) - ClickHouse: Add Beekeeper to https://clickhouse.com/docs/integrations/connectors/tools/gui (long PR-driven list in
ClickHouse/clickhouse-docs; DBeaver listed, we're not) - StarRocks: Add a Beekeeper page under Integrations -> IDE tools (DBeaver has one: https://docs.starrocks.io/docs/integrations/IDE_integrations/DBeaver/ - docs on GitHub, and we just shipped StarRocks support)
- DuckDB: Add a Beekeeper guide under Guides -> SQL Editors (DBeaver is the only entry: https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/guides/sql_editors/dbeaver - PRs via
duckdb/duckdb-web) - Firebird: Request listing on https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/third-party-tools/ (DBeaver listed under "GUI tools for SQL development"; Firebird Foundation adds tools on request)
- TiDB: We're listed with Full support, but our Tutorial column says "N/A" while DBeaver/DataGrip/Navicat/VS Code each have "Connect to TiDB with X" pages. Add a walkthrough - open issue already exists: https://github.com/pingcap/docs/issues/18009
- CockroachDB: We're on the community page (https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/community-tooling), but DBeaver is on the official support page (https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/third-party-database-tools). Explore getting promoted to the official tier.
- SurrealDB: No GUI clients listed anywhere yet; docs have an Integrations section (https://surrealdb.com/docs/build/integrations) that could host a Beekeeper page. Worth pitching since we're one of the first GUIs to support them.
- ScyllaDB: No docs index, but DBeaver got an official ScyllaDB blog post (https://www.scylladb.com/2024/01/23/dbeaver-scylladb/). Pitch a similar guest/announcement post for our 5.7 ScyllaDB support.
Already listed (yay)
- PostgreSQL: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Clients (first entry, cross-platform open source; DBeaver also on page)
- MariaDB: dedicated page: https://mariadb.com/docs/server/clients-and-utilities/graphical-and-enhanced-clients/beekeeper-studio (index: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/graphical-and-enhanced-clients/; DBeaver also listed)
- TiDB: https://docs.pingcap.com/developer/dev-guide-third-party-support/ (GUI table, Full support - see tutorial task above)
- CockroachDB: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/community-tooling (see tier-promotion task above)
- libSQL / Turso: https://docs.turso.tech/local-development (listed first; DBeaver also listed)
Gated docs, we probably need a contact at each vendor
- Snowflake: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/ecosystem-editors is "tools validated for use with Snowflake" (DBeaver listed). Requires a validation/partner relationship - evaluate if worth pursuing.
- BigQuery: https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/bigquery-ready-partners requires the "Google Cloud Ready - BigQuery" partner program (DBeaver earned it in 2024). Evaluate cost/benefit.
No obvious way to get listed
- MySQL: dev.mysql.com documents only MySQL Workbench
- SQLite: sqlite.org maintains no tools list
- SQL Server: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/tools/overview-sql-tools covers Microsoft tools only
- Oracle: promotes SQL Developer only
- MongoDB: promotes Compass only
- DynamoDB: AWS docs cover only NoSQL Workbench
- Redshift: only SQL Workbench/J documented (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/connecting-via-client-tools.html); DBeaver isn't in AWS docs either
- SQL Anywhere: nothing found on SAP help
- BedrockDB: minimal docs, no tools page
- Greengage: greengagedb.org docs cover psql only
