INTELLIsense? I think not...

I am ashamed. These blog posts are getting few and far beyond and certainly shorter and shorter. However, here's a short and sweet tip for those of us that work on occasion with MS Sql Server.

IntelliSense is often useful for getting at those pesky tables with long names -- if not for the auto-complete function, at least verifying that certain tables or columns exist certainly helps. However, this is predicated on the fact that the IntelliSense cache is not being.. cachey. For example, when a table structure is changed and for one reason or another, IntelliSense refuses to acknowledge the existence of, let's say, a new column. What can we do? Refresh the cache of course!

 There are two ways to refresh the cache:
  1. Go to Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache and
  2. Hit Ctrl+Shift+R
Maybe I'll start doing some basic posts about jQuery, CSS and basic DOM navigation in the future. But, until next time...
