Our remote SQL Server was recently upgraded to 2014. I installed SQL Server Management Studio 2014 on my Windows 10 client computer.
At first, everything seemed to be going great, until I noticed that IntelliSense is intermittent. By "intermittent" I mean that on the same computer, while working on the same script, IntelliSense might appear some times and not appear at other times. Before the upgrade to 2014, this never happened. Now it happens all the time.
Here's a specific example. Suppose I'm typing SELECT DISTINCT * from dbo.
The moment I type the period, I expect IntelliSense to list the available tables, as it always does. So by intermittent I mean that sometimes I see the list of tables, and sometimes I don't. This just a specific example of how the symptom manifests. This is not restrictive to table names. I mean that whenever I expect Intellisense to appear, it doesn't always appear.
I checked the obvious: Troubleshooting IntelliSense (SQL Server Management Studio) reconfirmed what I already knew and didn't help. I've tried these things.
- Closing the remote database connection and reconnecting
- Refreshing the IntelliSense cache, both by Ctrl-R and through the menu
Edit > IntelliSense > Refresh Local Cache
- Making sure all Windows Updates were applied
- Checking server connectivity with Ping (average 9 milliseconds)
This is not a duplicate because while other forum posts list the above steps as "answers" they are not answers for me. They do not solve the problem of intermittent IntelliSense.
Is there anything else i can do to fix this problem?
