DBeaver Forum

I would like to be able to right click on a connection in the Database Navigator view and
A. Delete the connection
B. Edit the connection attributes (like the Database file for a SQlite connection)

The context menu currently provides the option Properties. However, I can not fine the connection settings there.
The only way I currently know to achieve A. and B. is to manually edit the xml file .dbeaver-data-sources.xml in the project folder.

I use Eclipse Luna and installed DBeaver from the update site http://dbeaver.jkiss.org/update/3.1.5/

Hi,

That's an odd request. This features was implemented in the very first version of DBeaver a few years ago. See screenshot.
If you don't have these commands in context menu - please post a screenshot of your context menu and also check Eclipse error log for any related errors.

Also - by default connection editor opens when you double-click on connection. Delete can be performed with "Delete" key. Editing xml file is a really tricky way

* The context menu that is shown for my MySQL or SQlite database conections is shown in the attachment.
* Double clicking on a connection opens the Script editor and does not show the connection properties.
* The deletion with delete key does not work for me.
* I have some messages in the ErrorLog view but I guess that they are not related to DBeaver.
* My operation system is Win7.

* I also attach the context menu for databases. I would expect a delete option there (also for the table context menu), too.

It is definitely a bug in DBeaver.
Most likely it appears only in plugin version but I still can't reproduce it. I'll try a few more tricks with plugin installation..

Could you check standalone version to make sure that edit/delete commands works there in your environment?

Also could you say exact version of your Eclipse (from About box)

The options edit/delete work in the standalone version.

I just updated my Eclipse to version

Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2)
Build id: 20150219-0600

and the issue is still present.

What Eclipse package do you have (for Java developers, Java EE, RCP, etc)?
I assume that some 3rd party extension could bring these problems.

Also in what perspective to you work (In DBeaver perspective or in some else)?

Hi, today I had some time to have a look on this issue again. The origin of the problem seems
to be related to the fact that I start Eclipse with a wrapper called EclipsePortable (sorry, I forgot about that).

If I use a fresh Eclipse for Java Developers or start the wrapped Eclipse.exe directly, the context menu works just fine.
The context menu even works in the wrapped version if I use the DBeaver Perspective.

Therefore, you can close this topic since it is related to a very special case which can
be "solved" by using the DBeaver Perspective. Thank you.

'Edit Connection' Point in context menu is not visible in debug perspective. in java perspective 'Edit Connection' is available.
