Question

Given:
A table named Table1 that has the following columns:

• ID
• ColumnA
• ColumnB

Typing Table1. in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio provides me with a list of columns for that table.

Scenario:

I open up Table1 in the design view and add ColumnC to it. I save Table1 and refresh it to see the new column, Column3 show up in the Object Explorer.

Going back to the Query Window, I type Table1. but Column3 is not available to be selected. Typing it out gives me a syntax error but running a query with the column in it works as expected.

Is there a menu item somewhere that I need to click to get Intellisense to pick up the DDL changes I have made?

Answer 1

Edit -> Intellisense – Refresh Local Cache

That should do it.

Ctrl-Shift-R is the shortcut.
