Manage Streak data with visual tools in DBeaver like the query browser.
The CData JDBC Driver for Streak implements JDBC standards that enable third-party tools to interoperate, from wizards in IDEs to business intelligence tools. This article shows how to connect to Streak data with wizards in DBeaver and browse data in the DBeaver GUI.
Create a JDBC Data Source for Streak Data
Follow the steps below to load the driver JAR in DBeaver.
- Open the DBeaver application and, in the "Database" menu, select the "Driver Manager" option. Click "New" to open the "Create new driver" form.
- In the Settings tab:
- Set Driver Name to a user-friendly name for the driver (e.g. CData JDBC Driver for Streak).
- Set Class Name to the class name for the JDBC driver: cdata.jdbc.streak.StreakDriver.
- Set URL Template to jdbc:streak:.
- In the Libraries tab, click "Add File," navigate to the "lib" folder in the installation directory (C:\Program Files\CData[product_name] XXXX\) and select the JAR file (cdata.jdbc.Streak.jar).
Create a Connection to Streak Data
Follow the steps below to add credentials and other required connection properties.
- In the "Database" menu, click "New Database Connection."
- In the "Connect to a database" wizard that results, select the driver you just created (e.g. CData JDBC Driver for Streak) and click "Next >."
- On the Main tab of the configuration wizard, set the JDBC URL, using the required connection properties:
Use the following steps to generate a new API key for authenticating to Streak.

Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Streak JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.streak.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
Below is a typical connection string:
jdbc:streak:ApiKey=8c84j9b4j54762ce809ej6a782d776j3;
