SSMS "Intellisense" behaviour is driving me demented
This behaviour is doing my head in and I'm hoping that there is a simple way to change it?Just to give you an example, I am starting to write a little query to check the status of FullText Indexes on...
That started very recently. (v18)
Use one letter aliases like this:
SELECT *
FROM tbl_References as r
WHERE rHowever, when I type a dot after the alias, Intellisense replaces alias by a function name like this:
c -> CAST
r -> RADIANS
s -> string_split
e -> ENCRYPTBYASYMKEY
SELECT *
FROM tbl_References as r
WHERE RADIANS.Suggestions like "use longer aliases" - won't work. It is easier to turn off Intellisense completely.
Working with SSMS since SQL2000. Never seen such a behavior.
Assume this is a new bug, possibly not from SSMS, but from a .NET framework
I'm unable to replicate this in SSMS 20.x
