Formatting date representations in DBeaver

The open source database client DBeaver has the ability to specify a format in which to present date and time values in results sets.  The tables defined here identify the date and time parts and what they will represent when used as part of the mask.

To open the settings:

  1. Select File | Preferences
  2. Expand the Common item
  3. Choose the Date Formats item

From the settings on the right side of this dialog, look for the Type pop-up menu and the Settings Name/Value fields.  There is a Name/Value combination for each item in the Type pop-up menu.  A custom mask can be supplied for the desired presentation of date and time data.


Shorthand Description Example
Date
d Day without leading zero 7
dd Day with leading zero 07
M Month without leading zero 1
MM Month with leading zero 01
MMM Abbreviated month Jan
MMMM Formal month January
yy Short year 13
yyyy Full year 2013
Time
a AM/PM (upper case) AM
h Hour without leading zero 9
hh Hour with leading zero 09
m Minutes without leading zero 8
mm Minutes with leading zero 08
s Seconds without leading zero 5
ss Seconds with leading zero 05
z Time zone (upper case) EST

Remove control of Chrome being managed by organization on personal devices

Chrome may indicate that it's being managed by a user's organization. This warning is provided by the Chrome Policies feature of the browser. To know if an instance of Chrome is managed by an organization, there will be an entry at the bottom of the browser’s hamburger menu (three dot menu), on the right side of the browser window that reads, "Managed by your organization." This is likely due to an entry in the Chrome Policies listing, which can be found by loading this page in the browser: chrome://policy The policies listed in this section are stored in the computer's file system in one of the following locations as JSON files. /usr/share/chromium/policies/managed /usr/share/chromium/policies/recommended Remove the offending JSON files, and click the Reload policies button. The Managed by your organization entry in the browser menu should be gone. A notice like this on instances of Chrome for work, school, library, or other devices that belong to an organizati...

Allow Windows authentication using SQL Server driver with DBeaver

DBeaver will allow Microsoft Windows single sign on access when connecting to Microsoft SQL Server using the SQL Server driver (rather than jTDS ).  From the driver properties settings, set the integratedSecurity flag to true . Open the Connection configuration panel and choose the Driver properties section. Set the integratedSecurity flag to true . A subtle, but important step is to not provide username and password credentials to the connection.

Connecting to SQL Server with jTDS using Windows Authentication

UPDATE:   At one point the tip in this article to set the USENTLV2 flag to true was accurate, but it appears it is no longer necessary, at least as far as DBeaver 's use of the driver is concerned.  If it solves an authentication problem, then great.  The expectation is that, an update in one of the packages that make this sort of connection possible has resolved the issue that at one time made this flag necessary. Connecting to Microsoft SQL Server using jTDS with a username and password that's managed by the database manager is pretty straightforward.  It may become a little more problematic however, when trying to use Windows authentication when connecting from a Windows machine. Do not supply a username and password. Set the USENTLMV2 property to true. NOTE:   Step 1 assumes a connection being made from a Windows machine.  If the connection is being made from something else, user credentials may actually be necessary. If the connect...
