A data analyst is working on a project that requires querying data from an on-premises PostgreSQL database, a cloud-hosted Microsoft SQL Server database, and a local SQLite file. The analyst needs a single desktop application that can natively connect to all three disparate data sources to run queries from one interface. Which of the following database management tools is the best choice for this requirement?
The correct answer is DBeaver. DBeaver is a universal database tool that supports a wide variety of SQL, NoSQL, and cloud databases through JDBC and other drivers. It is specifically designed to allow users to connect to and work with multiple, different database systems from a single application.
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is a comprehensive tool, but it is primarily designed for managing Microsoft SQL Server. While it can connect to other database systems using linked servers, this is not its primary function and is less straightforward than DBeaver's native multi-database support.
MySQL Workbench is the official graphical user interface (GUI) for MySQL. Its main purpose is to design, develop, and administer MySQL databases. It has a migration feature that can connect to other databases, but it is not intended as a general-purpose, multi-database query tool.
MongoDB Compass is a GUI specifically for managing MongoDB databases. It does not support connections to relational databases like PostgreSQL or SQL Server.
