JDBC drivers
DataGrip does not include bundled drivers in order to have a smaller size of the installation package and to keep driver versions up-to-date for each IDE version.
You can download JDBC drivers via IDE and manually:
Upon creating a new data source for your database connection in the Data Sources and Drivers dialog (Control+Alt+Shift+S), DataGrip provides a link for you to download the missing driver.
For direct download links, refer to the JetBrains JDBC drivers page.
Location for the downloaded JDBC drivers is the DataGrip configuration directory.
You can also specify your drivers for the data source instead of the provided ones.
