## Star session at the DBeaver app

After declaring the environment variables, the user can open DBeaver. For the connection to be of the custom type, follow the next steps:

1. Open the DBeaver app.
2. On the main screen, in the upper-left corner, click on the icon represented by the plug and the plus sign.
3. On the pop-up window that opens, **Connect to a database**, select **Oracle**.
4. Click **Next**.
5. At the **Main** > **Custom** tab fill in the field with the information:
  1. **JDB URL Template**: `jdb:oracle:oci:/@<ORACLEDB_HOSTNAME>`
6. Click on **Driver Settings**, to replace the default library for the ones acquired at **Instant Client** and for the **oraclepki.jar** file found in the **SQLcl** directory.
  1. At **Libraries** tab, add the files.
7. Click **OK**.

Once this is done, the user can connect to the Oracle database through the Segura™ Database Proxy.
