As you can see, the database tools available in IntelliJ are easy to use and, in most cases, will answer your needs. Of course, there are tools on the market that can do a similar and perhaps better job when working with different kinds of databases. However, the focus of the database tools in this IDE are to help the developer integrate his/her code with the database. The other tools probably won't provide a tight integration between the database and the Java code as you've already seen, and will see again in the next chapters.
