Software update: DBeaver 5.2.5

DBeaver is a tool to manage databases. It can perform queries, display, filter and edit data, among other things. Support for the well-known databases, such as MySQL, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Firebird and SQLite, is available. It is available in a ce and ee flavour, with the former being open source at no cost.
