First of all you need Ultimate edition of Inteliijidea.

Database tools are not available for Community edition. Take a look at intellij download page

https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/

Second, with which framework are you going to use SQL, you cannot just open SQL project...

For simple database stuff MySQL workbench is made.

Intellijidea helps you to use database along with some other project framework:

For example Spring/Hibernate...

If you do python project, you need to use PyCharm, and there PyCharm will help you

There also very helpful tool provided by JetBrains, which is called 'DataGrip'

https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/?fromMenu

This one is specifically designed to work just with SQL and databases.

So it depends very much of your purposes your other non-SQL language, and yeah it will cost you money.

P.S. I use Inteliijdea Ultimate, and very happy.

And No. I haven't use DataGrip or any other IDEs for python, c# and etc..
