Invalid Object Name sql

Question

I keep getting an invalid object name error on my sql code. (member_number, subscriber_policy_number) is underlined with the error message.

The code itself runs fine with no errors, why does this happen? None of the code above this is highlighted

update smmdmm.aid_data
set Member_Number = Subscriber_Policy_Number
where Member_Number in ('000000000','000000001')

Answer 1

Make sure you're using the correct database. It may be defaulting to the "Master" database, and it doesn't look like you have the full schema for the referenced table.

Ex: [DatabaseName].[Schema].[TableName] or [Database1].[smmdmm].[aid_data]

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Try:

Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache

Answer 3

According to the error you're receiving I assume that you're using MSSQL.

at the beginning of your queries try:

use [YOUR_DATABASE_NAME];

and then your query. It helped in my case.

Answer 4

There might be 2 reasons for it.

1. Table name is wrong

   Sol: Verify the table name and try to execute

2. Database name and schema name are not mentioned with the table name in query

   Sol: Mention the database and schema name in SQL query.

For ex:

select * from MESQLDBM.dbo.Alert ([DatabaseName].[Schema].[TableName])

Answer 5

In my case, I was missing modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<PluralizingTableNameConvention>();

Answer 6

This works for me : Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache

Answer 7

It happened to me in a function and it was a table within that had been dropped long time ago

Answer 8

I came to this page as I kept getting this error each time I ran the program, anyway I found that in the settings my SQL string table name was missing the underscore and should have been as follows; tbl_Customer.

Answer 9

I faced case sensitivity problem. Below was my erroneous query

SELECT * FROM [bccci$Biochemical View] AS ibv 

here "V"- 1st character of last part of table name is Upper case but in actual table name it was lower case. that is [bccci$Biochemical view]. So my correct code was

SELECT * FROM [bccci$Biochemical view] AS ibv
