The following error is returned, where object name is the name of the table you are attempting to update:
Invalid object name object name
This error message occurs under the following conditions:
-
A SQL Server stored procedure exists in one database that selects records from a table in a different database.
-
The resulting recordset is returned to an application or service.
-
That recordset is then passed out-of-process as a disconnected ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) recordset to another client application.
-
An attempt is made to update the disconnected recordset.
If the recordset is never marshaled out of process but is delivered directly to the process that is attempting to update it instead, the UPDATE statement succeeds.
Symptoms
The remoting portion of ADO (Msdaprst.dll) is inadvertently overwriting portions of the metadata contained in the recordset. When subsequently constructing the UPDATE statement, this metadata is not available and incorrect syntax is generated.
Examination of trace logs show that the correct database.owner.tablename syntax was used when selecting the records, but only the table name was used when constructing the UPDATE statement.
Because the Connection currently points to the database containing the stored procedure and the table does not exist in that database, «Invalid Object Name» errors are returned.

230101 Data Queries Sporadically Return Empty Recordsets
Need more help?
I am attempting to create a Stored Procedure
for a newly created database. However the SSMS
intellisense does not recognize more than half of the tables which have been created.
For example whilst in the left hand column under tables I have a table dbo.Room
, when I type «dbo.
» in the new query window, that table is not listed, in fact only 17 out of 37 tables are listed.
I can see no difference between the tables listed by intellisense and those not. If I manually type dbo.Room, it is underlined, with an error of
Invalid Object Name ‘dbo.Room’..
Have I missed something in setting up the tables?
UPDATE: I have tried refresh of the tables list (several times)

Try:
Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache
This should refresh the data cached by Intellisense to provide typeahead support and pre-execution error detection.
NOTE: Your cursor must be in the query editor for the IntelliSense menu to be visible.

once you create a new SQL Server object, your newly created object does not get updated in the IntelliSence Local Cache and due to this, it shows red line underneath that object. So you just need to refresh SSMS IntelliSence Local Cache and once you refresh it, IntelliSence
will automatically add newly created object in the cache and the red line will disappear. try this
Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache
or Ctrl + Shift + R

In my case, the IntelliSense cache was listing object information for an entirely different database. If I clicked the «New Query» button in SSMS, it would open a query to my default catalog on the server and that query editor would always only use that database. Refreshing the cache didn’t change anything. Restarting SSMS didn’t change anything. Changing the database didn’t change anything.
I ended up creating a query by right-clicking on the database I actually wanted to use and choosing «New Query» from that context menu. Now SSMS uses the correct objects for IntelliSense.

Are you certain that the table in question exists?
Have you refreshed the table view in the Object Explorer? This can be done by right clicking the «tables» folder and pressing the F5 key.
You may also need to reresh the Intellisense cache.
This can be done by following the menu route: Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache

The solution is:
- Click menu Query,
- then click ‘Change Database’.
- Select your appropriate database name.
That’s it.

Even after installing SP3 to SQL Server 2008 Enterprise this is still an «issue.» Ctrl+Shift+R like everyone has been saying solved this problem for me.

In azure data studio press «cmd+shift+p» and type «intellisense», then you will see an option to refresh intellisense cache.

I realize this question has already been answered, however, I had a different solution:
If you are writing a script where you drop the tables without recreating them, those tables will show as missing if you try to reference them later on.
Note: This isn’t going to happen with a script that is constantly ran, but sometimes it’s easier to have a script with queries to reerence than to type them everytime.

Solved for SSMS 2016.
Had a similar problem, but Intellisense was not in Edit menu.
What seemed to fix it was turning Intellisens on and off, right click on the SQL editor and click ‘Intellisense Enabled’. Right click again on ‘Intellisense Enabled’ to turn it back on again. Ctr Q, I also does this.
This solved the problem, and also I know get the Intellisense on the Edit menu.

I ran into the problem with :
ODBC and SQL-Server-Authentication in ODBC
and
Firedac-Connection
Solution :
I had to set the Param MetaDefSchema to sqlserver username :
FDConnection1.Params.AddPair(‘MetaDefSchema’, self.FDConnection1.Params.UserName);
The wikidoc sais :
MetaDefSchema=Default schema name. The Design time code >>excludes<< !! the schema name from the object SQL-Server-Authenticatoinname if it is equal to MetaDefSchema.
without setting, the automatic coder creates :
dbname.username.tablename -> invalid object name
With setting MetaDefSchema to sqlserver-username :
dbname.tablename -> works !

I was working on Azure SQL Server. For storing the data I used table values param
like
DECLARE @INTERMEDIATE_TABLE3 TABLE {
x int;
}
I discovered the error in writing on the queries
SELECT
*
FROM
[@INTERMEDIATE_TABLE3]
WHERE
[@INTERMEDIATE_TABLE3].[ConsentDefinitionId] = 3
While querying the columns, it’s okay to wrap it with braces like [@INTERMEDIATE_TABLE3].[ConsentDefinitionId]
but when referring to just the table valued param, there should be no params. So it should be used as @INTERMEDIATE_TABLE3
So the code now must be changed to
SELECT
*
FROM
@INTERMEDIATE_TABLE3
WHERE
[@INTERMEDIATE_TABLE3].[ConsentDefinitionId] = 3

I’d guess the problem is your SQL Server login does not have it’s «default database» properly set.
This will show you what your «default database» is set to:
SELECT sp.name
, sp.default_database_name
FROM sys.server_principals sp
WHERE sp.name = SUSER_SNAME();
You can either change the default database of your login, or you can specify the database in the connection string.
This will modify your default database:
ALTER LOGIN <login_name> WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = [testDB];
If you want to specify the database in the connection string, make your connection string:
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=ANUPAM-DESKTOP\ANUPAM;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;Encrypt=False;TrustServerCertificate=True;ApplicationIntent=ReadWrite;MultiSubnetFailover=False;Initial Catalog=testDB");

Just the other day one of the readers sent me following email after reading my earlier blog post: STRING_SPLIT Function Performance Comparison. He really liked the new feature of SQL Server 2016 and decided to start using this new feature. However, as soon as he started to use this feature, he received following error. He was very much confused why he was not able to use the STRING_SPLIT function even though he had SQL Server 2016.
He attempted to run following command in SQL Query Editor.
DECLARE @VarString NVARCHAR(400) = 'Mike,John,Miko,Matt'; SELECT value FROM STRING_SPLIT(@VarString, ',');
When he tried to run the command he got following error:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 7
Invalid object name ‘STRING_SPLIT’.
He immediately wrote to me asking if I know the reason for the error and if there is any way I can help him to fix the error. Honestly, I immediately knew the reason what was the problem for him as many of my customers often faces similar issues.
WORKAROUND/SOLUTION
The primary reason for the error to show up is the compatibility level. The new function STRING_SPLIT is introduced in SQL Server 2016 and if your database compatibility is of SQL Server 2014 or earlier version, you may end up with this error. If you want to use this function, you need to set your compatibility of the level to SQL Server 2016 or later version of SQL Server.
Here is the quick script which can help you to change your compatibility to SQL Server 2016.
ALTER DATABASE [AdventureWorks2014] SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 130 -- For SQL Server 2016 GO
You should change the compatibility level value to 140 if you want to set your database compatibility to SQL Server 2017.
Once you change your database compatibility level to either SQL Server 2016 or SQL Server 2017, the script just worked fine and produced following results.
Please note that you should set your database compatibility to the level which is appropriate for your database. Changing the compatibility of the database without proper testing may result in errors.
