Install and configure DBeaver

Verisk Technical Support will need to give you access to the cloud where your loss data can be queried from. Contact them for assistance when you are ready to install DBeaver. They will need the following information when you contact them:

  • Database server name
  • Version and build of the AirResultRe database

You can obtain this information by running the following query.

Query

SELECT [ServerName],[Version], [CodeVersion] FROM [AIRResultRe].[dbo].[tDbHistory] H INNER JOIN [AIRResultRe].[dbo].[tDBVersion] V ON H.EndVersion = V.[Version] AND H.[EndCodeVersion] = V.[CodeVersion]
