How to Cancel DBeaver

To fully cancel a query in DBeaver, follow these steps:

1. Identify the Query: Locate the query you want to cancel in the Query Manager. You can access the Query Manager by clicking on the arrow next to the Transaction Log button in the toolbar and selecting "Query Manager," or via the Window menu by selecting "Show View" and then "Query Manager."

2. Cancel the Query: Click the "Cancel" button associated with the query you wish to stop. This action sends a cancellation request to the database server.

3. Wait for Cancellation: Depending on the database server and network conditions, it may take some time for the query to be fully canceled. If the query is fetching a large amount of data, cancellation might be slower.

4. Alternative Approach: If the query is not canceling quickly, consider using a "Limit" clause in your SQL query to reduce the amount of data being fetched. This can make cancellation faster.

5. Forceful Cancellation: In some cases, especially with slow network connections or heavy queries, you might need to close DBeaver and restart it to force the cancellation of a query.

6. Configuration Adjustments: For future queries, consider adjusting DBeaver’s settings or using a timeout parameter to manage long-running queries more effectively.
