DATABASE CONNECTION IN DATAGRIP

Introduction:

DataGrip is a database management environment for developers. It is designed to query, create, and manage databases. Databases can work locally, on a server, or in the cloud. Supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and more. If you have a JDBC driver, add it to DataGrip, connect to your DBMS, and start working.

How To ConnectWith Database

Amazon Redshift

1. Open data source properties. You can open data source properties by using one of the following options:
   1. Navigate to File | Data Sources.
   2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S.
   3. c. In the Database Explorer (View | Tool Windows | Database Explorer), click the Data Source Properties icon .
2. On the Data Sources tab in the Data Sources and Drivers dialog, click the Add icon and select Amazon Redshift.
3. At the bottom of the data source settings area, click the Download missing driver files link. As you click this link, DataGrip downloads drivers that are required to interact with a database. The IDE does not include bundled drivers in order to have a smaller size of the installation package and to keep driver versions up-to-date for each IDE version.
   You can specify your drivers for the data source if you do not want to download the provided drivers. For more information about creating a database connection with your driver, see Add a user driver to an existing connection
4. From the Connection type list, select a type of connection that you want to use:
   1. Default: connect by using Host, Port, and Database.
   2. IAM cluster/region: connect by using Database, Region, and Cluster
   3. URL only: connect by using the JDBC URL that you can copy in settings of your Amazon Redshift cluster.
      
5. From the Authentication list, select an authentication method.
   1. pgpass: by using the PGPASS file. You can store this file in the user’s home directory (for example, /Users/jetbrains/.pgpass). You can read more about the password file in The Password File at postgresql.org.
   2. AWS profile: by using a named profile. A named profile is a collection of settings and credentials that you can use for authentication. Named profiles are stored in CREDENTIALS files. Default directories for these files are ~/.aws/credentials (Linux and macOS) and %USERPROFILE%\.aws\credentials (Windows).
6. In your Redshift dashboard, create a Redshift cluster.
   For more information about the Amazon Redshift cluster, read Getting Started with Amazon Redshift.
7. In settings of the Redshift cluster, copy the JDBC URL.
8. Paste the JDBC URL from the Redshift cluster settings to the URL field in DataGrip.
9. In User and Password fields, specify your Redshift credentials.
10. To ensure that the connection to the data source is successful, click the Test Connection link.

Apache Cassandra with SSL

Step 1. Create a Apache Cassandra connection

Open data source properties. You can open data source properties by using one of the following options:
• Navigate to File | Data Sources.
• Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S.
• In the Database Explorer (View | Tool Windows | Database Explorer), click the Data Source Properties icon .
1. In the Data Sources and Drivers dialog, click the Add icon and select Apache Cassandra.
2. At the bottom of the data source settings area, click the Download missing driver files link. As you click this link, DataGrip downloads drivers that are required to interact with a database. The IDE does not include bundled drivers in order to have a smaller size of the installation package and to keep driver versions up-to-date for each IDE version.
   You can specify your drivers for the data source if you do not want to download the provided drivers. For more information about creating a database connection with your driver, see Add a user driver to an existing connection.
3. In Host, Keyspace, User, Password, and Port fields, specify connection details.

Step 2. Verify the version of the JDBC driver

Verify that you use the JDBC driver of version 1.3, or later.

1. Open data source properties. You can open data source properties by using one of the following options:
   • Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S.
   • In the Database Explorer (View | Tool Windows | Database Explorer), click the Data Source Properties icon
2. In the Drivers list, select Apache Cassandra.
3. In the Driver files pane, click ver. and select Latest or 1.3.

Step 3. Set VM options

1. Open data source properties. You can open data source properties by using one of the following options:
   • Navigate to File | Data Sources.
   • Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S.
   • In the Database Explorer (View | Tool Windows | Database Explorer), click the DataSource Properties icon .
2. In the Drivers list, select Apache Cassandra.
3. In the driver settings, click the Advanced tab.
4. In the VM options field, specify options for authentication.
   • Server authentication: your client verifies that the server is correct and trusted. The truststore must contain a public key of the server or the CA certificate that was used to sign the server key.
     -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore= < path_to_client_truststore >
     -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword= < truststore_password >
   • Client authentication: the server verifies the client that tries to connect to the server.
     -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore= < path_to_client_keystore >
     -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword= < keystore_password >

   

Step 4. Add the sslenabled option to the JDBC URL

1. Add the sslenabled=true option to the JDBC URL. For example, jdbc:cassandra://localhost:9042/?sslenabled=true.
2. To ensure that the connection to the data source is successful, click Test Connection.
