2. Click the Libraries tab, click Add File, and add gsjdbc4.jar.

   Download the gsjdbc4.jar file. The driver package file is compatible with the database version.

   • Download the 3.X driver package.
   • Download the 2.X driver package.

   Decompress the package, go to the GaussDB_driver\GaussDB_driver\Centralized\Euler2.5_x86_64 directory, and decompress the JDBC package.

3. Click OK, edit the corresponding driver again, and click Find Class.
4. Open the DBeaver client and directly connect to the target GaussDB database. Select the driver file created in 1.
5. Click OK. After the connection is successful, open the C:\sso\SsoTool\DBeaver\General\.DBeaver\data-sources.json file, verify that the corresponding connection is generated, and open the C:\sso\SsoTool\ssotool.conf file.

   Add the C:\sso\SsoTool\DBeaver\General\.DBeaver\data-sources.json parameter to the C:\sso\SsoTool\ssotool.conf file, uncomment the corresponding line in the ssotool.conf file, and save the file.

6. Choose Operation > Host Operations and access the host using the corresponding protocol.
