Summary

DataGrip, an IDE from JetBrains, has expanded its functionality by adding support for the NoSQL database Couchbase, as part of its 2020.3 Early Access Preview (EAP) release. This addition is aimed at SQL developers and database professionals who can now use DataGrip to write SQL queries in an intelligent console with features like autocomplete and multiple database connections, including to NoSQL databases like Couchbase which supports SQL-like queries (N1QL). JetBrains developed a custom JDBC driver to facilitate this integration, allowing users to manage databases directly within DataGrip. The EAP version, which does not require a license, includes enhancements such as a more powerful value editor and new data extractors, and it allows users to test and provide feedback for future improvements. The tutorial within the release guides users on setting up Couchbase as a data source, executing queries, and utilizing features such as autocomplete. DataGrip's integration with Couchbase aims to streamline the development experience by providing a single platform for working with various database technologies.
