How does one access DataGrip in PhpStorm?

Question

It sounds like JetBrains "DataGrip" functionality is included with PhpStorm. (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000877044-DataGrip-FAQ). How does one access the DataGrip functionality from within PhpStorm? (For example I want to explore a sqlite/mysql database)

Is this the same as the "Database Navigator" plugin? (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/1800-database-navigator)

Answer 1

"DataGrip functionality" incudes:

• Database toolwindow (Data Sources/DB connections, viewing DB structure)
• Query console (edit and execute SQL statements)
• Table/Query results viewer
• Import into/Export from DB
• DB diagrams
• Search for DB objects from Search Everywhere
• etc
