Redshift Support
I use Datagrip on Redshift and I find the experience frustrating in a 100 small ways. I wanted to list some of them here hoping that the community could help me solve.
1. I cannot configure Datagrip to auto-reconnect. My Redshift server disconnects inactive users quickly to minimize concurrency issues. Datagrip frequently thinks its connected when it is not and errors when trying to run a query instead of auto-reconnecting. I workaround by manually closing connection and running my query again. I attempted to use Advanced Options to solve but none of those settings allow edits and (official and unofficial) documentation is horrible or nonexistent.
2. Datagrip has a convenient option to automatically download drivers. This has never worked for me. The manual install process is tedious and painful.
3. Upon installing a recent update to Datagrip, every table in my Database window is listed twice... the normal listing.. and a second listing for the pkey. Why are all my indexes shown as if they are tables? I cannot remove them and the double entry is annoying. I can no longer read this list and have resorted to searching for everything.
Suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.

Vasily, I tried the EAP on redshift and had better results then I saw with the released version. I'll continue to test.
