Connections:
For Postgres, the default is to only show the default database. To see all databases, edit the connection. In Connection Settings, on the Postgres tab, under Settings, check ‘Show All Databases’

Configuration:
Menu : Window => Preferences
Some settings I changed from the defaults.

Preferences => Editors => SQL Editor : Open output viewer on new messages

Preferences => Editors => SQL Editor => Code Editor
Auto Format – Auto Close
Didn’t like the editor re-formatting my code, or inserting the end parenthesis/bracket for me.

{Version 21 or earlier}
Boolean display in query results – Preferences => Editors – Miscellaneous – Boolean view.
The default is to display [v], to show in a view screen. I selected True/False

Line Numbers – Editors => Text Editors – Show Line Numbers

Templates – Preferences => Editors => SQL Editor => Templates
I use the Templates feature to store snippets of code I use frequently.

Connection Types:
Right-click connection => Edit Connection => General
Can set a connection type, so that different environments are color-coded
Under Security – Read-only connection
