Community focuses on relational JDBC workflows: SQL Editor, Data Editor, ER diagrams, transfer, tasks, and AI Chat. PRO materials list extras such as broader NoSQL support, enterprise auth, mock data generation at scale, schema compare, and commercial support.

Yes. 支持 Windows versions are Windows 10 or later, which includes Windows 11, and Windows Server 2016 or later. Softonic lists Windows 11 among supported platforms for its Windows builds.

macOS 11 or later is supported via Apple Silicon and Intel DMG packages. Linux users can install deb, rpm, snap, flatpak, or zip builds for x86 and ARM.

Community is open source under Apache 2.0. Softonic reported clean VirusTotal-based scans for verified Windows builds in its trust panel. Still verify version, prefer known packages, and read 信任与安全.

Heuristic false positives happen with Java desktop apps and fresh binaries. Historical Community issue threads show single-engine detections that disappeared on rescan. Compare checksums and avoid untrusted mirrors. See the antivirus guide.

Use the same trusted release channel you used for the initial install. Match the version label to 26.1.5 (or newer) in Help / About. Avoid random re-uploads that strip signatures.

No. Configuration lives in a separate DBeaverData user folder. Official install notes say you can remove the previous application files without losing settings.
