Learn how to add a PostgreSQL data source in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, run SQL, export results, control transactions, and generate Java code—all from the Database tool window.
Recover deleted files and undo destructive refactors using IntelliJ IDEA's Local History, a built-in safety net that tracks changes independently of Git.
Local History automatically snapshots file changes inside IntelliJ IDEA, giving you a recovery path for uncommitted work that Git cannot help with. Here is how to use it and where its limits begin.
Choose between IntelliJ’s fast inline inspections and SonarQube’s cross-project quality metrics. This guide outlines constraints, trade-offs, and a validation workflow for Java teams.
IntelliJ IDEA Local History can recover deleted files and overwritten edits before your next Git commit—but it is not a backup. Learn when to use it and when to commit instead.
Adopt the Gradle Wrapper in IntelliJ to lock the Gradle version across developers and CI. The article covers requirements, trust boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and when to change the design for reproducible builds.
IntelliJ keeps inspections safe by making them stateless, file-local PSI visitors with timeout isolation and read-only access, and only allowing changes via vetted quick-fix commands.
Blind text replacement rewrites comments and strings. IntelliJ's Structural Search and Replace matches the PSI tree instead, letting you migrate BigDecimal constructors with preview, constraints, and a clean VCS diff.
