Connect DBeaver Enterprise to Salesforce through ODBC

DBeaver Enterprise and DBeaver Community let you connect to Salesforce via ODBC, enabling SQL-based querying, reporting, and data management.

If you require a simplified connection setup with built-in ODBC support, enhanced security, and performance features, you may try DBeaver Enterprise.
