My biggest issue with using IDEA for DB work is that DB connections are saved to the project or workspace (not sure about the IDEA lingo). We have many projects and so I have to add the DB connections again and again. Is there a nice solution for that?

In Jetbrains IDEs, when you define a data source, there is a button to make the source global. If you do that, it will be accessible across all projects.
If like you missed doing it when defining the source, you can also go into your data sources list and the sidebar has a "make global" option.
Thanks a lot!
When I run into questions like this with IDEA, there is usually an answer. If not, file an issue in their issue tracker. Seriously. They fix stuff nonstop. Sometimes it even takes years, but they eventually do it if it is a good one. They are very responsive in their tracker.
