No Intellisense when an XML variable exists

When an xml variable exists and has xml assigned to it, intellisense no longer works. For example:
DECLARE @xmlData XML = '
<Root>
	<Value>
		<Id>1</Id>
		<SubValue>
			<Value>A</Value>
		</SubValue>
		<SubValue>
			<Value>B</Value>
		</SubValue>
	</Value>
	<Value>
		<Id>2</Id>
		<SubValue>
			<Value>C</Value>
		</SubValue>
		<SubValue>
			<Value>D</Value>
		</SubValue>
	</Value>
</Root>'

DECLARE @table TABLE ([Id] INT,[SubValues] XML)

INSERT	@table
SELECT 	r.v.value('Id[1]','INT'),
		r.v.query('SubValue')
FROM 	@xmlData.nodes('//Root/Value') AS r(v)

SELECT 	[Id],
		[SubValues]
FROM 	@table

    Hi Melance,
    I'm having difficulty recreating this on the current 6.3 beta.

    eg. If I continue with your select statement and type where:
    SELECT    [Id], 
          [SubValues] 
    FROM    @table
    WHERE
    
    I get a popup with the SubValues and Id columns listed, is this not the case for you?
  • Hi Aaron,
    I just retried the example I gave and it appears to work correctly. The code I am actually working with is a lot more complicated and doesn't work:
    USE [CORA_AppDev]
    GO
    /****** Object:  StoredProcedure [ReportSystem].[spUpsertReportXML]    Script Date: 3/7/2014 12:13:09 PM ******/
    SET ANSI_NULLS ON
    GO
    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
    GO

    Hi Lance,
    Thank you for the script, I can recreate your issue here. It looks like the problem is that Prompt isn't "looking back" far enough to cover the xml string, a work around for now is to change the ParserLookBackDistance to a larger value as described here.

    The restriction is there for performance reasons but we are currently investigating a better solution, I'll keep you updated if we get a new build out with this look back removed.

    Thanks,
    Aaron.
  • Aaron,
    Thank you, that was the solution.
