Refreshing the IntelliSense Cache

There are cases where the local cache used by IntelliSense becomes stale. Refreshing the cache is easy but not necessarily obvious. There are two ways to refresh the cache: 1) Go to Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache and 2) Hit Ctrl+Shift+R

# re: Refreshing the IntelliSense Cache

Thanks. Is this with regards to Visual Studio? I don't see a refresh cache option in the menu?

Hi Atul,

This is the Transact-SQL IntelliSense feature within SQL Server Management Studio.

Cheers,

# Thanks for this

It makes sense to make this a manual refresh, but I'd had yet to come across this option myself when using SSMS 2008.

# Thank You!

Hard telling how long might have passed before I noticed that in the menu had I not found this blog post.  I was going nuts trying to figure out why my new tables and sprocs were not 'seen'.

Aye, I looked and looked through the menus and couldn't find anything, but now that this post pointed it out to me, I'm slapping my forehead cause I didn't notice it there. Thanks Dan.
