I love DBeaver.

Long time ago I started searching for a DB-client similar to "TOAD", but on Linux and targeting only my following key requirements: 1) write & execute single SQLs on a "page" which has multiple SQLs without having to use any terminator (";") between them, 2) ability to show the execution plan of the SQL in which the cursor is positioned and 3) ability to connect to different kinds of databases.

I ended up with nothing, and I actually even initially excluded DBeaver as running on Java (personal thing - most Java apps I tried always had some kind of bug which made it a no-go for me).

After a while I gave it a try and I ended up being extremely happy with it, especially because I can use it with basically all databases that I am/was using (I'm currently using it mostly with MariaDB & Clickhouse, but used it in the past as well with DB2, Kudu, PostgreSQL).
