In SQL 2008 Server Management Studio: is there a way to keep intellisense from always picking the longest word to autocomplete? For example, I could be trying to type the word client and it'll autocomplete with clientdetails.

Which version of SSMS? I'm using 10.50.1600.1 and do not have mentioned problem. – Coder Hawk Feb 19 '11 at 9:46
@Sandy I'm on version 10.0.4000.0. That might be part of the problem. :) I'll look for SP updates and see if that helps. – Bryan Denny Feb 21 '11 at 13:40
@Sandy Actually, this microsoft.com/downloads/en/… says 10.0.4 is SP2? Am I missing something? – Bryan Denny Feb 21 '11 at 13:43
I thought that, 10.5 is 2008R2, 10.0 is 2008. Not sure if that helps. – RateControl Feb 25 '11 at 1:33
I'm on 10.50.2500.0 and have the same issue. Very annoying. – Head of Catering Mar 7 at 21:17

I find it easier to just disable IntelliSense, the more I use it, the less I like it. Although before I tried it, I loved it :)

Just better to learn to hand-code things correctly. Mostly IntelliSense intefere's with that

au-contraire. Autosense helps me type even faster than my normal 50-60 WPM, with autocompletion and learning how to use it. I agree that while it's still building it's database it takes time for it to catch up, especially on larger projects, but on small stuff it makes things blazingly simple. – jcolebrand♦ Feb 25 '11 at 15:09
