PhpStorm 3.0: New and Noteworthy in Database Realm
This is a cross-post from IntelliJ IDEA blog. Original post by Gregory Shrago.
There are many little things in database and SQL area that got attention in PhpStorm 3.0 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.
Develop with pleasure!
