Asking about capabilities of the DBeaver integration

[amotl]

Hi.

that #112 has been resolved is excellent news, thank you very much.

In this case, all what is left is to wrap up this patch for the documentation, demonstrating DBeaver with CrateDB >= 5.9.1 works well when using the vanilla pgJDBC driver? Wonderful!

May I ask if data I/O using all CrateDB special data types has been validated, or does this integration only provide basic support?

With kind regards,
Andreas.

Arrays --> recognised as such in reads, also work for inserts through the GUI (need to use curly brackets syntax {1,2} instead of [1,2])
Objects --> seen as string, ok to insert via GUI
geo_shape --> seen as string, ok to insert via GUI
geo_point --> seen as string, for insert through GUI need to use parentheses
float_vector --> seen as array on read, can be inserted through GUI with same considerations as arrays

That's excellent feedback, thanks. I think it will be good to document those details on the new page educating about DBeaver (crate/cratedb-guide#157), because it can help people to get started much easier.

NB: If you also know about such a list of caveats with DataGrip (crate/cratedb-guide#155), please let us know, for example by suggesting an improvement using the widget on the corresponding documentation page.

The proposal for the new page has been updated.
