I have followed the instructions offered for using CrateDB with Datagrip. It’s function seems limited to the query console however. The sidebar table lists do not work, nor can I use the traditional table view.

I notice in the tutorial screenshots it is not working also. Is it possible to fix this?

What version of CrateDB are you using?  
What version of DataGrip are you using?  
Are you using the CrateDB JDBC driver or the PostgreSQL JDBC driver?

Using DBeaver with CrateDB connection might be an option.

Hi. We’ve refreshed the documentation about how to connect to CrateDB using DataGrip and the [CrateDB JDBC Driver](https://cratedb.com/docs/jdbc/).

> **[DataGrip](https://cratedb.com/docs/guide/integrate/datagrip/)**
>
> DataGrip is a cross-platform database IDE that is tailored to suit the specific needs of professional SQL developers. It is available as a standalone application and is also included into other JetBrains products like IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm....

It is currently the best way forward until CrateDB will be compatible enough with PostgreSQL so that using DataGrip with the canonical [PostgreSQL JDBC Driver](https://jdbc.postgresql.org/) becomes possible, or CrateDB can provide a dedicated adapter, see also:
