Question

In VS2005, I am using a DLL which accesses a SQL Server. The DLL returns a SQLException

Invalid object name ‘tableXYZ’

but tableXYZ is a table in the database.

Should it be looking for dbo.tableXYZ instead? Is this a permissions issue with the login being used?

Answer 1

This could be an issue with the owner of the tableand permissions.

for example the table owner may be dbo so the full table name will be dbo.TableXYZ The user you connect as, could be for example SQLUser may not have access to the dbo schema. So can only access tables such as SQLuser.TableXYZ

I’d check the permissions that you use to connect to the database.
