i have tried restoring driver settings to default - no effect i have tried removing the metadata folder in Users and restarting - no effect

if anyone has any suggestions as to what i can do to get the correct db driver that would be much appreciated :-)

Have you tried to reinstall the driver? I've tried DBeaver on Linux, mysql connector v 5.1.39 worked fine (mysql 5.6.15).

I had issues a month ago with dbeaver and connecting to a mssql db, updating dbeaver to the v4.0.0 fixed it, maybe you could try that too? You'll have to build it though, if this doesn't scare you: https://github.com/serge-rider/dbeaver
