Using SQL Server Agent in DataGrip

I've been testing DataGrip as a SQL IDE recently and I really like it. Particularly I decided to test it because of the multiple database type support.
One issue that I am having, and that is forcing me to keep SSMS open, is the SQL Server Agent. When developing I use it quite a bit to execute jobs from the agent. I cannot seem to get the SQL Server Agent to show up in the DB window in DataGrip (or anywhere else for that matter). Is this even possible? If not then this might be a deal breaker from me when working with SQL Server.
I have tried googling all the possible ways this question could be asked, and I've walked through the 'Connecting to SQL Server' instructions on the JetBrains site for DataGrip.
After doing some research and even reaching out to JetBrains themselves, it appears this is not planned to be supported anytime soon. It's kind of a shame this is the case, but I suppose there's only so much you can do. There is a plugin for this, but it will only work on 2019 versions of DataGrip, not the current 2020 versions. Here is the link for anyone using an older version of DataGrip that wants to incorporate this feature into their IDE.

SQL Server management in VS2012

At university we have a server lab in which we do development using VS2012 for web modules such as ASP.NET. For such modules, we use Microsoft's SQL server.
My question is which extension in VS2012 would enable you to right click inside an 'open' table giving you options such as Check Constraints, Relationships etc.
I ask this because I have downloaded VS2012 to work on my own personal projects, but on opening a table and right clicking it, I receive an entirely different set of options, and I don't really want to write the SQL myself.
Any help would be very much appreciated. I have installed Sql Server 2012 with management tools etc on my machine here but not really sure what that's meant to achieve or how to integrate it into VS.

Upgrading to Sql Server Express R2 Advanced Services in Middle of Development

I am currently developing, from the ground up, my first asp.net website. After implementing many of the more basic features for my site I have run into a problem with Visual Basic 2010's SQL Server 2008 Express. I want to have search with my site so users can look for specific records in my database, and from what I have researched Full-Text Search is the best way to go (right?). It wasn't until I tried to test my code that I realized the default Express edition doesn't have Full-Text Search enabled. My question is a.) how can I upgrade to the SQL Server Advanced Services in the middle of development without losing my Database's, and b.) what download should I use, because right now I'm thinking http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?Id=25174.
I really want to be sure that I am not only installing the right software, but that I won't completely screw up my project in the process. Along those lines, should I backup my database's and then uninstall my original version of SQL Server before downloading the Advanced Services version? I would really appreciate some help here because I have had massive headaches in the past trying to upgrade Microsoft software and just want a smooth transition.
Well it took me the entirety of a day, but I solved this! First I had to uninstall EVERYTHING regarding SQL Server. Then I downloaded http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?Id=25174 (X86 since I am on Vista) and used .\SQLEXPRESS as my Instance Name. Once it was done installing I had to delete the SQLEXPRESS folder in 'C:\Users[Your computer's name!]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Data' to get my old connections to work! Then I could create databases in SQL Server Management Studio that had Full Text enabled.

How to embed SQLite in a Windows Form Application?

After learning how to use SQL this past semester, I would like to put it to use in an application. After coming upon the realization that my application would require SQL Server software installed in order for it to work, I asked around and was directed to SQLite.
I'm wondering if anyone can give a quick tutorial on how to use SQLite with a Windows Form Application, or direct me to one (I can't seem to find one).

You may also consider SQLCE (Compact Edition). It is a free sql implementation from microsoft. Last time I looked at SQL Lite I think it was out of development (I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong).
SQLCE is easy to use from visual studio and sql server managagement studio. Anyone using your application will need the runtime installed or you can build your deployment to handle that.
