Answer 1

• download oracle drivers with pki
• Try also to unpack the wallet.zip. Make the directory of the same name as your wallet and in the same directory as the wallet and put the files from the wallet archive there. I am not sure is this step important but I read somewhere it can help
• create a new oracle connection in DBeaver. Choose "Edit driver settings"
• in "Libraries" tab, remove everything and add the downloaded drivers
• for a "Connection type" choose "Custom"
• in "JDBC URL template" enter something like jdbc:oracle:thin:@connection_from_tnsnames?TNS_ADMIN=c:\\\\location_of_wallet_CVANEDEV

Here is some info about oracle wallet connections: JDBC Thin Connections with a Wallet (mTLS)
