I have an INSERT query that works fine, but when I add an extra field I get the oh-so-helpful:

Invalid object name ‘optimizations’

Optimizations being the table name. The query is below… I am totally lost as to why this wouldn’t work. If I cut & paste the query into MSSQL Management Studio, the query works fine.

INSERT INTO [optimizations] 
    ([opt_date],[opt_concept_id],[opt_pallet],[opt_turnable],
     [opt_sideupok],[opt_endupok],[opt_flatok],[opt_notstickingout],
     [opt_notinoverhang],[opt_itemsloaded],[opt_loadedweight],
     [opt_pweightutil],[opt_pvolumeutil],[opt_request_xml],
     [opt_response_xml],[opt_images],[opt_primary_stage_id]) 
VALUES 
     (GETDATE(),'775','20ft','true','false','false','true',
      'true','true','10','5952.6','18.6','48.9',
      '<xml><herpa><derpa>xml</derpa></herpa></xml>',
      '<xml><herpa><derpa>xml</derpa></herpa></xml>',
      'img1.jpg,img2.jpg,img3.jpg','98');

For some reason, if I include the last field in the query [opt_primary_stage_id] it does not work… if I omit this field it works fine. Interestingly enough if I add [opt_primary_stage_id] to the list of fields being passed, and pass it a value of NULL the query also works fine. The [opt_primary_stage_id] field’s data type is INT, I have tried including the last entry of the VALUES() section both as a straight number (3) and with quotes ('3')… neither works.

The server executing the code is running PHP 4.3.9, under IIS and with and MSSQL.

This is a version of the query, with the SAME data that will work.

INSERT INTO [optimizations] 
    ([opt_date],[opt_concept_id],[opt_pallet],[opt_turnable],
     [opt_sideupok],[opt_endupok],[opt_flatok],[opt_notstickingout],
     [opt_notinoverhang],[opt_itemsloaded],[opt_loadedweight],
     [opt_pweightutil],[opt_pvolumeutil],[opt_request_xml],
     [opt_response_xml],[opt_images])
VALUES 
     (GETDATE(),'775','20ft','true','false','false','true','true',
      'true','10','5952.6','18.6','48.9',
      '<xml><herpa><derpa>xml</derpa></herpa></xml>',
      '<xml><herpa><derpa>xml</derpa></herpa></xml>',
      'img1.jpg,img2.jpg,img3.jpg');

EDIT: Fixed XML to have proper bracketing & added working query.

    Adding a field won’t cause failure on it’s own: there is a valid reason.

    You say it runs in SSMS OK then it shows that issue is in PHP or in the call.

    First thoughts:

    • How long is the command. Is it being truncated somewhere in PHP? Is this dynamic SQL IRL?

    • Is the user context the same from the client? You may have the same table in 2 different schemas for example, with differing permissions.

    • Wrong database in the connection. What does SELECT DB_NAME() say? Sounds obvious but no object = not there. Don’t dismiss this idea and assume it is the correct context: check.
