Intellisense in SQL Server 2008 R2

Well since I complained about something stupid in SQL Server 2008 R2 the other day, I think I should say something good. Having come from SQL Server 2005, I have to say I am loving that Microsoft added intellisense to SQL Server 2008. Its one of those features that I always wished was there because its so easy to mistype something, especially when creating stored procedures, so the fact that tables and field names, parameters, etc pop up as you type makes life much easier.

Why does Microsoft have to change things?

This is kind of a pointless post but I was doing something in SQL Server 2008 R2 today and I wanted to quickly view the contents of a table so I went to do the old stand-by from SQL Server 2005 of right-clicking on the table name and selecting Open Table but it wasn't there. I looked at the options and decided to try one that looked like it might be similar, "Edit Top 200 Rows". Seems to be exactly the same as Open Table. I just don't get why they had to change that, especially since I more often use that feature to just do a quick look at the data in the table than to actually edit the data so I think the old label made more sense.


Anyway, that's it, just complaining.
