  4. Configure the connection to the database.

    In the Connection Settings step, go to the Main tab and configure the following essential connection settings:

    • Port: the query port of your CelerData cloud account, for example, 9030.
    • Database: the target database in your CelerData cloud account. Both internal and external databases are supported, but external databases may not fully function in DBeaver.
    • Username: the username that is used to log in to your CelerData cloud account, for example, admin.
    • Password: the password that is used to log in to your CelerData cloud account.
