Answer 1

If you have installed correct version and if you still haven't Intellisense this may help you.

1) Make sure you are connected to SQL Server 2008 Edition. IntelliSense does not work with the previous versions of SQL Server.

2) IntelliSense should be enabled. There are two ways to verify whether IntelliSense is enabled or not. a) From Toolbar b) Go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> Transact-SQL -> IntelliSense

3) IntelliSense should be refreshed with the latest changes in database.
a) Press CTRL+SHIFT+R b) Go to Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache

4) Go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> Transact-SQL -> General -> IntelliSense Select Auto List Members and Check Parameter Information.
