Intelligence While Writing the Queries

  • I just saw in my collegues desktop that while he is writing the query, some intelligence is enabled as in When he writes SELECT * FROM TIM all the table names starting with TIM gets shown as it happens in the .Net Screen. But, in my system, it is not happening. Can you help me in achieving that? Any Option i need to get enabled??

    I am working on 2008 client with 2005 being the server.

  • Intellisense only works against a SQL 2008 server with 2008 tools. Sorry, I wish it weren't so..

    You can buy SQL Prompt from RedGate. It's around $300 iirc. In my opinion, it's far, far better than the built-in intellisense (disclaimer, I have a free copy of SQLPrompt)

    The built-in intellisense only works when connected to a 2008 server, no way around that.
