Sql Server management studio "Invalid Object name dbo.xxxxx"

Question

I have created a EmpDB and created a table "EmpTable" when I try to create a simple SP I am getting compile time error "Invalid Object name dbo.EmpTable" - why?

Following is the sql statements

use EmpDB;
Go
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
-- =============================================
-- Author:      <Author,,Name>
-- Create date: <Create Date,,>
-- Description: <Description,,>

CREATE PROCEDURE usp_GetEmpNames

AS

SELECT * FROM dbo.EmpTable

Are you sure that the schema for your table is `dbo`?, what happens if you do `SELECT * FROM EmpTable`? — Lamak, May 04 '12 at 18:54

I just created a test version and ran your script with any issues.

A few things to check:

If you run just the SELECT does it run?

SELECT * FROM dbo.EmpTable

If not, then verify the schema the EmpTable is in and replace the dbo.

SELECT * FROM yourSchemaNameGoesHere.EmpTable

Make sure that your table that you created is in the correct database EmpDB and you didn't accidentally create your table in the wrong database.

Make sure you have selected the right database on which you run the query. That was my issue.
