Multiple tabs of phpStorm database editor

Question

I am trying to switch from netbeans to phpstorm and I encountered a problem in the database console. I'm used to being able to open multiple tabs for a single database connection. Is there a way to duplicate this behavior? I do not see the possibility of opening a new console, and I cannot find anything in the additional properties of the DB connection listed in the DB panel.

I tried installing the Database Navigator plugin, but it seems to duplicate a lot of functionality. I like the built-in one better, but none of them support multiple tabs.

Does anyone have any ideas? This seems to be a fairly common use case.

I am on trial version 6.0.3 and use the connected database support module.

I do not think that this is possible with the support of the embedded database.

Update : PhpStorm 9, built into the database manager, can now open multiple consoles for this connection. Right-click on the / New / Console connection.

Using the Database Navigator plugin , however, you can open multiple consoles for a single connection. First open the SQL console, then a drop-down list of settings will appear on the top line next to the Execute Statement button. Open it, and at the bottom of this list you will find Create Console.
