SQL Server 2008 – Intellisense – Update Local Cache

Since we recently upgraded to SQL 2008, now I have some small tidbits that I can share! First one is this: Intellisense updating.

In SQL 2008, it has built in Intellisense, pretty awesome. Until you add new objects, then everything is red underlined. What to do?

Well if you are writing some T-SQL in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and run into this issue for newly created objects, just use this command

CTRL+SHIFT+R

and you are all set, the local Intellisense cache will be rebuilt and your new tables/procs/whatever will show up in Intellisense, cool!
