How to use postgres sql meta commands in DBeaver?

Question

I see postgres provides few handy meta commands that can used from psql (shell?). I have tried using them DBeaver GUI console but they don't work.

Is there a way to use these meta command like \d (display all db's), \dt (display all tables) etc in DBeaver.

I am using postgres db 13.5.

Answer 1

You can't.

Those aren't "PostgreSQL meta commands". Those are psql meta commands and only work inside the command line client psql

From within a DBMS independent SQL client like DBeaver you can only run SQL commands (or things specific to that SQL tool)
