      Problem Statement/Rationale

      Currently if no datastore is connected in the DB explorer, users are not given an option to create a new connection. Can be hard to users who don't know about DB explorer to know to make a connection via there (some pro intellij users still don't know about the DB explorer.

      Suggested Fix

      We always show an option to create a new connection in BOTH toolbar selector and the modal selector from static warning. This is especially important is users don't have any connections at all (since this could mean they don't know about DB explorer). However, users who are aware will also appreciate the shortcut.

      When clicking on it, it should open the DB explorer connection window directly.
