Intellisense Not Working in Ms Sql Server Management Studio2014

I am using SQL 2014 and VS 2013. When i connect Management Studio to local database then IntelliSense works fine, but if i connect remote database of 2014 then IntelliSense doesn't work, previously i was using Management Studio 2008 with this IntelliSense was working fine, but with 2014 it doesn't work. Am I need to install any other tool or something to make it work?

There are a few possible causes. You may first try refreshing the cache by

  1. Hit Ctrl+Shift+R, or
  2. Go to Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache

If IntelliSense is still not working, then make sure you have IntelliSense enabled. To check this from the T-SQL Query editor window of current database,

  1. Go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> Transact-SQL -> General -> IntelliSense
  2. Go to Query -> IntelliSense should be selected
  3. Also verify that the T-SQL Editor does not launch in SQLCMD Mode, go to

Tools -> Options -> Query Execution -> SQL Server -> General

Make sure

By default, open new queries in SQLCMD mode

is unchecked. Or, Go to Query ->

SQLCMD Mode

should not be selected

If IntelliSense is still not working. Get latest update and start re-installing is the best bet.

There is an issue with 2014. You can apply cumulative update 1 for SQL 2014 to fix it

Edit This was not the solution in this case but I will keep this answer as it may be an issue for others.

Your best bet is to (have your employer) buy SQL Prompt from Red Gate. Even when it is "working", SQL Server's built in Intellisense is barely usable.
