Visual Studio 2017 version 15.6 and later uses a different means to provide IntelliSense completions that aren't dependent on the database. Database status is shown in the Python Environments window (a sibling of Solution Explorer) on the IntelliSense tab (see Environments window reference). Databases may need refreshing if you add, remove, or update packages. To improve performance, IntelliSense in Visual Studio 2017 version 15.5 and earlier depends on a completion database that's generated for each Python environment in your project. Visual Studio 2017 versions 15.7 and later also support type hints. IntelliSense provides completions, signature help, quick info, and code coloring.
