I have SQL Server Management Studio 18.12.1 and noticed that I can not use Intellisene on synonyms. Is there a solution available?
I thought this issue was solved? The SQL query is executed without errors, intellisense has been refreshed but it is not working.

I use SQL Search when working with SQL Server Management Studio and it works to find even comments written in sp. I would like to know if there is similar tool/function in Postgres/pgAdmin.
Intellisense is not working in Microsoft SQL Server 2014, it was working fine in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 but once I installed 2014 it is not working.
Under Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> Transact-SQL -> IntelliSense it says it is enabled there.
I have also tried refeshing the IntelliSense cache with Ctrl-Shft-R but that doesn't work.
From my personal experience, SSMS IntelliSense is a pure crap, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'd go for third party tools.
If you're willing to spend your cash, I'd recommend Redgate SQL Prompt.
If you need a free product, try dbForge SQL Complete, it's not as good as SQL Prompt, but does a decent job.
Perform following steps:
Under Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache
Restart SSMS.Then try
After Refreshing local cache, if still not working, then try to delete temporary file of OS. for me it's work, I hope this will fix your's issue as well.

We currently work with all versions of SQL Server from 2005 onwards. To save time I try to do everything in a single version of Management Studio. This also helps if running newer client operating systems like Windows 10 which old client tools aren't compatible with.
Specifically when trying to view the graphical SSMS interface for index properties I get the following error if connected to a SQL Server 2005 instance.
In Object Explorer:
Database > Table > Indexes > Right Click > Properties
Full error text:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. (mscorlib)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Cannot read property IsSparse. This property is not available on SQL Server 2005. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
This also happens in SSMS 2014, but not SSMS 2012.
So my question is; can something be done to work around this issue allowing one version of management studio to be used for all versions of SQL Server from 2005 onwards?
I'm guessing now, but as it works in SSMS 2012 there must be something going on that targets an older version of mscorlib. Maybe because SSMS 2012 uses a VS2010 shell and different .Net framework?
Many thanks in advance for your time.
There is an Active feedback about that on Microsoft Connect here. Someone suggest a workaround to go into Table Design and go to menu "Indexes/Keys...". It works, but some properties are not editable that way, like Included Columns. The other options left are to use SSMS 2005-2012 or use T-SQL script, like Aaron said.
I recently installed MS SQL Server Mgmt. Studio 2014 and discovered Intellisense was not working at all even though it was enabled by default.
What's interesting is that the icon on the toolbar to disable/enable Intellisense is grayed out so that I can't enable or disable it.
I've done a fair amount of searching but haven't found an answer or even probable cause.
I tried using the hotkey combo, Ctrl+Q followed by Ctrl+I but I get the following message in the status bar of SSMS:
"The key combination (Ctrl+Q, Ctrl+I) is bound to command (IntelliSense Enabled) which is not currently available."
Has anyone seen this before?
You are connected to SQL Server 9.0.5324, which is SQL Server 2005, and Intellisense wasn't introduced until SQL Server 2008.
You can connect to older versions of SQL Server with SSMS 2014, but Intellisense will only work when you connect to a server that is 2008 or newer.
No way around this I'm afraid.
I installed Developer edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 and find out intellisense is not working or show as other developer talking about.
Is there anything else I need to do to get intellisense working in SQL Server Management Studio?
What I do to get it to work?
Maybe you need to "refresh" the intellisense cache.
3) IntelliSense should be refreshed
with the latest changes in database.
a) Press CTRL+SHIFT+R b) Go to Edit >>
IntelliSense >> Refresh Local Cache
Full list of things to make sure of:
Connected to SQL Server 2008 edition
Intellisense enabled
Intellisense refreshed
Correct settings for "Statement completion"

If you have recently installed Visual Studio 2010 SP1 you may be encountering a bug. Microsoft has confirmed that VS 2010 SP1 effectively breaks intellisense in SQL Management Studio.
Here are a couple of options you can try:
DevArt's SQL Complete -$0 free
RedGate's SQL Prompt - $195 <-You can find it at red-gate.com.
First and foremost you must be working with a SQL Server 2008+ instance, for the server to be able to give you the metadata for intellisense.
It is a fine art making intellisense work for you.
The first thing you can to do make it recognize the database context is to put
USE databasename;
at the top of your query window. This gives it a better grasp of where you are working.
The next thing you need to get used to is to write your queries in a different order, fill in the FROM clause first, so the skeleton should be something like
SELECT ^
FROM tblname
or
UPDATE tblname
SET ^
At the position marked ^, intellisense will have a good idea of what db/table context you are working in.
UPDATE a
SET a.^
FROM tblname a, tbl2 b
Without fully specifying the join condition, just listing the tables as above allows intellisense to work with a.
There are many other tricks, such as if you renamed objects, you're best off to start a new query window or disconnect from the server completely and reconnect, or even restarts SSM Studio.
