PostgreSQL

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 tool window (View | Tool Windows | Database), click the Data Source Properties icon .

On the Data Sources tab in the Data Sources and Drivers dialog, click the Add icon () and select PostgreSQL.

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. To decrease the size of the installation package and keep driver versions up-to-date, drivers are not bundled with the IDE.

You can specify your own 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.

From the Authentication list, select an authentication method.

• 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.

• User & Password: by using your login and password.

Specify database connection details. Alternatively, paste the JDBC URL in the URL field.

To delete a password, right-click the Password field and select Set Empty.

To ensure that the connection to the data source is successful, click the Test Connection link.
