When I am typing SQL in Management Studio, sometimes Intellisense makes really obviously bad choices that trip me up, like when I try to type:
SELECT CASE WHEN Name IS NOT NULL THEN
as soon as I hit the space after “IS” it types in
SELECT CASE WHEN Name IS_MEMBER ...
Is there any way to prevent this? It is very annoying.
If possible, use the SQL Server 2012 version of Management Studio. It’s much better about this silly stuff. In previous versions I turned it off completely because this annoyed the crap out of me. In 2012 I wouldn’t think of turning it off – in addition to being much better about this, it also has partial matching, which means you can type something like:
And the completion list will not only list sys.indexes, but also sys.index_columns, sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats, etc. No more needing to know what a name starts with. Huzzah!
But if 2012 is not an option, then I agree with @HLGEM – turn it off.
