I am a trainee and in my project i have been working on MS SQL server using microsoft server management studio but now for some reasons i have to use ubuntu for a week or so. I have nothing installed so far on my system.
I have downloaded DBeaver but I do not know how to configure it. Please give detailed instructions that how should I proceed. What data will I need? I am very very novice in this matter.
About driver configuring and everything.
Thank you

So, we had the same problem. I don't if this will still help you, I just found your question. And to solve my problem, I searched the web as well, but unfortunately, did not find a solution (at least in my quick search). So, what I did to solve it, I was just winging it. Hope you'll be able to reproduce this.
Step 1. Run dbeaver
Step 2. Select new connection type, in your case, MS SQL Server -> Microsoft Driver -> Next.
Step 3. When I did my config, the JDBC URL, Port, and Host were already filled out. So, what you'll be just doing here is to enter your User name and Password for SQL Server. Then, click Test Connection. You'll be prompted to download the drivers, do it.
Step 4. I did not do anything here. Just click Next
Step 5. I just clicked Finish here.
Step 6. You're done, you should see the DBeaver - General Window. You can now access your SQL Server.
