Sharing databases between projects within Intellij

Question

I use Intellij to inspect databases, run sql, view data in tables etc. This all works fine but the only thing I am missing is the ability to define these datasources once and vi

Answer 1

Go to the Database tool window and click on the Data Source Properties button. Select the data source you want to make global. Click on the Make Global button in the tool bar above.

The Make Global button looks like this:

Now you can use the data source from all your projects. However a global data source is not stored in the project files, so any other developers working on the same project will need to define their own data source.
