I was very happy with Intellisense in SQL Management Studio 2008, it worked great. So I was very surprised to have so many issues with it when I installed the 2012 version. First of all, it seems to take forever for it to load/cache database objects that used to be available almost instantly. With the 2012 version I can open a new query window and start typing and I don’t expect any help right away. Sometimes it takes minutes before I get any help. And my databases are not very large or complicated. ......
