IntelliJ IDEA 11: New and Noteworthy in Database Realm

JetBrains

There are many little things in database and SQL area that got attention in yesterday’s IntelliJ IDEA 11 release but now I just want to highlight the major ones.

Data Sources view got a new look and now includes stored procedures both from DDL scripts and real databases. The existing SQL dialects support has been redesigned with two new dialects introduced: H2 and MS Transact-SQL. So the list of supported SQL languages now looks like this:

MySQL 5.6 PostgreSQL 9.0.5 Oracle 11.2 SQLite 3.7 SQL Server 10.50 Derby 10.8 HSQLDB 2.2 H2 1.3 SQL-92    Featuring: Exact syntax as in docs Context-aware completion PL-extensions support

Database view:

• Includes stored procedures. Search for usages, navigate to, drag and drop to editor, etc.
• Working with large databases is now less painful. Tables and procedures are available the moment their names are loaded. Columns, procedure parameters and other information are loaded in background afterwards.
• If something is changed there’s no need to wait for the whole synchronization. Refresh only selected schemas, tables or procedures.

Database Console:

• Console now remembers its state so you won’t lose statements you have never run.
• If you do not want to switch editors back and forth you can run statements directly from an SQL file or any other place where SQL injection takes place: invoke “Run Query in Console” intention for the first time then use console “Execute” action shortcut as if you are in console.
• Transact-SQL batch execution mode (the toggle is hidden in the console properties dialog)
• Console editor now can be undocked and split as any other editor.

Enjoy.
