Can’t backup single tables from DWH in DBeaver
You might face the issue of DBeaver throwing an error at you when trying to backup individual tables with its backup feature.
If you look into the logs and find complaints about the version, the issue is probably that your local (in your laptop) Postgresql binaries are not version 16. This version mismatch with the server causes the issue.
To fix it, you need to install the Postgresql client binaries for version 16 and then select them in Dbeaver. The steps are roughly:
- Go to https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads
- Download version 16 for windows
- Install it.
- During install, you only need to Stack Builder and Command Line Tools. No need to install the full Postgresql install, unless you want an actual database in your laptop that is.
- In DBeaver, try to run a backup, and you’ll see a little button that reads Local Client in the bottom left corner. Go there and add a new client entry pointing to the stuff you installed, which will most probably be living in:
C:\Program Files\Postgresql\16
