PhpStorm - associate SQL schema with project source

Question

PhpStorm reports Unresolved reference errors for SQL statements in source code editor:

Unable to resolve column expiry_time

Inspection info: This inspection performs unresolved SQL references check

There is a MySQL schema file for the project, but I can't find how to associate this schema file with the project source.

Clicking on the red lightbulb on the left hand side enables creating a new table but can't see how to import an existing table definition.

Answer 1

You need to create a new Data Source in Database toolwindow and point to your database (be it dev version or maybe even a live one).

If using an actual database is not possible for whatever reason (specific environment requirements/restrictions or whatnot) but you have schema file, sill create a Data Source but point to your DDL/schema file instead.
