Intellisence support in SQL Server 2008

For those of you who are bored with SQL Server management studio of SQL Server 2005. There is a good news that the same tool has intellisence support in the 2008 version.


Congratulations!!


But this comes at some cost. If you open the profiler then you would see these statements being executed.

I just executed the statement SELECT * FROM SYS.DATABASES. But this came as a price of execution of one more statement to the server. This is not unique to the SQL SERVER 2008. All those software which support intellisence services has to query the database to get the information about the object.

So if you have many database developers this might come as a cost to the Server instance. But this would also help you reduce the cost as the database developers become more productive with the support of intellisence.

I support the inclusion of this feature and admire it.
