Software update: DBeaver 6.0.5

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. The enterprise flavor adds support for several nosql databases such as MongoDB, Apache Cassandra, and Apache Hive, as well as additional plugins and jdbc drivers. The developers have released version 6.0.5 with the following changes:
