Database view missing from IntelliJ

I can`t see the "database" view in "View -> Tool windows" in Intellij 12.

Anyone experienced the same problem? How do I get it back?

Database tools are built-in with intellij new versions. You can Go to Plugins in the installed section, search for Database Tools and SQL mark it check, Apply and restart your idea. You will see the Database tool in your sidebar

Btw. you most likely don't have the Database option under View -> Tool Windows if you're running IntelliJ Community.

I had the same problem. Even searching for the plugin "Database navigator" didn't work for me. So first I had to install database navigator from repositories and install it first. (File -> Settings -> Plugins -> Browse Repositories | Search for 'Database Navigator' and install it. Sometime it will require a restart after the installation.)

Additional :

This would install Database navigator. But it's not possible to create tables from database navigator. It will give this message.

SQLite support error

In order to create a table, you have to install sqlite3 command line tool from official SQLite official site. Then you can use terminal to create tables and other operations.

SQLiteStudio is much easier option. Hope this would helpsomeone.

This can be a repeat of deep's answer. But will help newbies who aren't familiar with Intellij jargon's.

Ctrl+Alt+s will take you to settings. From Settings go to plugins.

Add Database Navigator from the repository if it is not enabled.

After this go to View-> Tool Windows -> Database navigator

I am just copy and pasting answer of jorgen.ringen (who asked the question) from the comment.

Okey, saw some problems in the log that the heroku intellij-plugin was causing problems. Removed the plugin and restarted, and the database plugin plus a couple of other ones showed up!

So moral is: if any plugins are causing problems, uninstall them, cause they may break others! :-)

As of intellij version 2017.1, search for the plugin "Database navigator" in Settings -> Plugins. Then you can open the db browser from View -> Tool Windows -> DB Browser.

in the IDE menu bar, select the menu view> tool windows, if "Database Tools and SQL" plugin is enabled, we'll find a menu "database", so click on it to open the correspending panel
