The trouble with being a cynic: You can't do anything about it.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I like being a pessimist. Either I am always right or else I am pleasantly surprised.

Seeing as we're all dwelling on the negative today ...
Why is it that when I type this in SMS:
CAST (NULL AS BIGINT)
Unintellisense changes it to this:
CAST (NULL AS bigint)

Well, yes, it could be worse.
I once tested an SQL beautifier (name with-held to protect the guilty, but it was Apex) and while it made some extremely messy code look very nice it did render it unrunnable in the process.
What annoys me about SMS though, is the way that it's progressed from no Intellisense at all to "Hi!, I'm Clippy - it looks like you're trying to query a database!"
I can see how the whole thing's a much larger challenge for SQL than it is for a more structured language like C# but where the VS Intellisense is a wonderful thing, the SMS incarnation kind of isn't.
Anyway, mustn't spend all day moaning about it - I've got to refresh my local cache yet again ...

Well, yes, it's not like it worries about case elsewhere. You can write everything lower, everything upper or a mix of the two and it generally doesn't bat an eyelid but as soon as you're inside the brackets of a function call it goes bananas.
I can't see how removing a bit of bad code is taking 8 years.

Because you choose the suggestion from AutoComplete and the suggestion is in lowercase. Simple solution, don't choose the suggestion.

Not the case - it effectively auto-selects. It is a bug, pure and simple.

Actually no. It does not do it for me. If you hit TAB, for example, then it will. But if you type it out in full and don't select the suggestion, it won't change it.

How odd! On mine, I simply type the word and it changes as soon as I hit the end of it - it looks like the (case insensitive) matching against the auto-complete option gets to the end and it says "Ah! that's the one, I'll replace the text".

Maybe you have a third party intellisense installed?
And to be clear, I type BIGINT and either then hit SPACE or ) and it stays in CAPS. But if I hit TAB, it lower cases it.
I have SQL 17.8.1 But I'm pretty sure it's always been this way for me. Maybe there is an option. Don't know.

It must be an option somewhere, mine's a vanilla installation but I don't even get as far as typing the closing bracket before it changes it.

I actually love fresh figs, but today we apparently only post complaints in the Lounge. Here we go:
You can't take a bite without crunching on a mouthful of seeds. And they are so sweet and make your fingers sticky when you try to eat them!
The real question now is: How should you actually eat them? Peel them and risk sticky fingers? I have heard that you can (should?) eat them with the peel. Not such a great idea if they have been treated with insecticides. And they are full of seeds!

Roasted with honey and Ricotta, maybe some pistachios as well.

THat isnt a million miles from a recipe I concocted:
Cut triangles of bric pastry (the north african stuff, a bit like thick filo), toast them.
Layer up sliced goats cheese, a triangle of pastry, slice of fig, ground pistacio nut, homey, sprinkle of herbes de provence, and repeat.
When its about 6 layers, about 3 inches high, stick a tooth pick through it all to hold it together and oven bake for 10 mins.
Serve it up on lettuce with a simple dressing.
It is an amazing dish. Incredible flavour and texture.

You probably would sooner get away with asking programming questions here than with this:

Replacing bacon with anything sets you up for a s-storm here.

No, you can replace it with more bacon - that's OK.
