MySQL autocomplete - select the database by project

Hi,

I have been using phpstorm for a few months now, but I can't seem to get this working.

basically, when inside an SQL statement (usually a string in a php variable), I press CTRL+SPACE, and the autocomplete window asks me to select a database.

My datasource contains only one database, with about 8 tables, and I'd like to not have to specify the database in each and every SQL statement.

is there a way to tell PHP storm to select a database somewhere in the project settings? or is there another way to achieve this?

My connection is made in PDO, if that helps.

thanks for helping!
