GaussDB(DWS) provides a Windows-based Data Studio client and the tool depends on the JDK. You need to install the JDK on the client host first.

NOTICE:

Only JDK 1.8 is supported.

In the Windows operating system, you can download the required JDK version from the official website of SDK, and install it by following the installation guidance.
Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) management console. In the navigation pane, choose Management > Client Connections. The Download Client and Driver page is displayed.
On the Download Client and Driver page, download Data Studio GUI Client.
- Select Windows x86 or Windows x64 based on the OS type and click Download to download a Data Studio version that matches the current cluster.
- Click Historical Version to download the corresponding Data Studio version. You are advised to download Data Studio based on the cluster version.
Figure 1 Downloading the DSC client

If you have clusters of different versions, select the gsql client that matches the version of your cluster. In the cluster list on the Clusters page, click the name of the specified cluster to go to the Cluster Information page and view the cluster version.
Decompress the downloaded client software package (32-bit or 64-bit) to the installation directory.

Open the installation directory and double-click Data Studio.exe to start the Data Studio client.

**Table 1** Data Studio installation package structure
Folders/Files	Description
configuration	Contains information about the application startup and the required Eclipse plug-in path.
db_assistant	Contains files related to the SQL Assistant function.
docs	Contains Data Studio User Manual. Contains copyright notices, licenses, and written offer of the open source software used in Data Studio.
features	Contains Eclipse (rich client protocol-GUI) and Data Studio features.
p2	Contains files required for providing and managing Eclipse- and Equinox-based applications.
plugins	Contains the required Eclipse and Data Studio plug-ins.
tools	Contains tools that Data Studio depends on.
UserData/ Autosave Logs/ Preferences/ Profile/ History/ Security/	Contains folders of each OS user of Data Studio. Autosave: contains the information of queries and functions/procedures that are automatically saved. Logs: contains the Data Studio.log file that logs all the operations performed in Data Studio. Preferences: contains the Preferences.prefs file that stores the custom preferences. Profile: contains the connection.properties and Profiles.txt files, as well as SQL History, to manage connection information in Data Studio. Security: contains the files required for the management security of Data Studio. NOTE: The UserData folder is created after the first user opens the instance using Data Studio. The Logs folder, language, memory settings and log level are common for all users. After Data Studio is started, the Logs, Preferences, Profile, and Security folders, as well as the Data Studio.log, Preferences.prefs, connection.properties, and Profiles.txt files, are created. If the Logs folder path is specified in the Data Studio.ini file, logs are created in the specified path. When you cannot log in to Data Studio due to a damaged security key, perform the following steps to generate a new security key: Delete the security folder in Data Studio > UserData. Restart Data Studio.
artifacts.xml	Contains the product build information.
changelog.txt	Contains the detailed log changes of the current release.
Data Studio.exe/DataStudio.sh	Allows you to connect to a server and perform operations, such as managing database objects, editing or executing PL/SQL programs.
Data Studio.ini	Contains the configuration information for running Data Studio.
readme.txt	Contains the features or fixed issues of the current release.

NOTE:

If your computer blocks the running of the application, you can unlock the Data Studio.exe file to start the application.

After the installation is complete, double-click the StartDataStudio.bat file in installation directory/tools to check the versions of the OS, Java, and Data Studio.

The batch file checks the version compatibility and will launch Data Studio or display appropriate message based on the OS, Java and Data Studio version installed.

If the Java version installed is earlier than 1.8, then an error message may be displayed.

The batch file determines the versions of the OS and Java for Data Studio based on the following scenarios:

DS Installation (32-bit/64-bit)	OS (Bit)	Java (bit)	Result
32	32	32	Data Studio is launched.
32	64	32	Data Studio is launched.
32	64	64	An error message will be displayed.
64	32	32	An error message will be displayed.
64	64	32	An error message will be displayed.
64	64	64	Data Studio is launched.
