I still think Jetbrains has the gold standard in IDE - Database interaction
I've been using DataGrip for a few weeks and admit it is a nice upgrade to DBVisualizer that I've been using for 10 years. The intellisense and features like being able to select the query in the current window are big time savers for me. I'm still on a trial and not certain I'll purchase it just because things are moving so fast in this field. I feel like not having it in my VSCode Agent loop is a huge negative at this point
Interesting in knowing why you think that
Because of a rich feature set and amazing integration with DB providers.

It even lints your SQL queries written in other languages. Truly gold standard.
Datagrip, as an extension, lets you work with SQL, highlighting, autocompletion, and more, inside non-SQL files, such as your programming language files. I think they call this 'language injection'.
