I'm trying to run this trigger that is suppose to update a row in my customers table after a row is updated in the same table.
CREATE TRIGGER [project].updateFreeShipping
ON [project].[customers]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE [project].[customers]
SET NextShippingIsFree = 1
WHERE Email IN (SELECT TOP 5 Email FROM dbo.Top10byMoney)
END
It throws the following error:
Msg 8197, Level 16, State 4, Procedure updateFreeShipping, Line 2
The object 'project.customers' does not exist or is invalid for this operation
Screenshot:
This is a clear and classical error that is raised when you execute a statement in another database that the one you usually use. Very often, beginners does not verify the contexteual database and try to create objets in master which is the default one in SSMS. Remember that SQL Server is a multi-database multi-schema RDBMS and does not require any DBlink to execute SQL scripts from one DB to another... So make a great attention to which database you contextually use !
To avoid such trouble, begin your script with the USE statement, like :
USE MyDatabase;
GO
CREATE TRIGGER [project].updateFreeShipping
ON [project].[customers]
AFTER UPDATE
AS

I agree to all others comments about the logic of your code which has no sense...
I don't know if SQL SERVER have this feature.
Operation over a period of time,you can export the corresponding sql statement script.contain "insert,update,delete,alter table etc".
For example:Every night,I open generated .sql file,I can see full day operation.in this file,contains many sql statement as follow
insert into ...
update ....
delete ...
create table ...
drop table ...
alter table ...
My English is not better,please forgive me.
Thanks.
No - sql server does not provide this functionality. But at the others suggest, perhaps your goal can be achieved in a different fashion.
I'm trying to get into SQL using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. I've added a database and I want to make a query:
This works and I can execute the code, but after I saved my query and closed the program it doesn't work anymore when I open the program and try to execute the query again. It can't find the terms I'm relating to:
I don't know why this occurs or how I can solve it, it seems that the connection between the query and the database is gone... Can someone help me on this?
You're attempting to execute the query against the master database but that's not where your tables are. Three ways to handle this:
Use the drop-down in the toolbar to switch to the dbArtemis database
Fully-qualify your table names. dbArtemis.dbo.Klantnummer for example
Execute use dbArtemis; in your query window before the query itself.
Just add before your query the name of your database:
USE dbArtemi
GO
SELECT Naam
FROM tblklaten
WHERE klatenummer =
(SELECT DISTINCT klatnummer FROM tblorders where (orderID = 11013));
GO
Is there a setting in the management studio that would allow me, when I create a new query, to use just:
SELECT * FROM Foo
instead of
SELECT * FROM dbname.dbo.Foo
assuming of course there is no ambiguity?
Currently I get an error message. Thanks.
You can set a default schema for a User in SQL Server 2012.
Here is the MSDN page
Note: You can't change the schema after setting it once.
SELECT YOUR DATABASE NAME HERE FROM THE DROP DOWN LIST and then if there is any ambiguity in column names just use two part name i.e TABLENAME.ColumnName
WHere you open a new query window it opens it in Master database context, And people who has been working with sql server for years and years makes this mistake quite often of openning a query window and start executing a script in master db. so your not the only one :)
You can also use the USE statement i.e
USE DataBase_Name
GO
//your query.........
I have a database and have a Sql script to add some fields to a table called "Products" in the database.
But when i am executing this script, I am getting the following error:
Cannot find the object "Products" because it does not exist or you do not have permissions
Why is the error occurring and what should I do to resolve it?
I found a reason why this would happen. The user had the appropriate permissions, but the stored procedure included a TRUNCATE statement:
TRUNCATE TableName
Since TRUNCATE deletes items without logging, you (apparently) need elevated permissions to execute a stored procedure that contains it. We changed the statement to:
DELETE FROM TableName
...and the error went away!
Are you sure that you are executing the script against the correct database? In SQL Server Management studio you can change the database you are running the query against in a drop-down box on one of the toolbars, or you can start your query with this:
USE SomeDatabase
It can also happen due to a typo in referencing a table such as [dbo.Product] instead of [dbo].[Product].
Does the user you're executing this script under even see that table??
select top 1 * from products
Do you get any output for this??
If yes: does this user have the permission to modify the table, i.e. execute DDL scripts like ALTER TABLE etc.? Typically, regular users don't have this elevated permissions.
Look for any DDL operation in the script.
Maybe the user does not have access rights to run changes.
In my case it was SET IDENTITY_INSERT tblTableName ON
You can either add db_ddladmin for the whole database or for just the table to solve this issue (or change the script)
-- give the non-ddladmin user INSERT/SELECT as well as ALTER:
GRANT ALTER, INSERT, SELECT ON dbo.tblTableName TO user_name;
It could also be possible that you have created the "Products" in your login schema and you were trying to execute the same in a different schema (probably dbo)
Steps to resolve this issue
1)open the management studio
2) Locate the object in the explorer and identify the schema under which your object is? ( it is the text before your object name ). In the image below its the "dbo" and my object name is action status
if you see it like "yourcompanydoamin\yourloginid" then you should
you can modify the permission on that specific schema and not any other schema.

I've been trying to copy a table from PROD to DEV but get an error:
"Cannot find the object X because it does not exist or you do not have permissions."
However, the table did exist, and I was running as sa so I did have permissions.
The problem was actually with CONTRAINTS. I'd renamed the table on DEV to be old_XXX months ago. But when I tried to copy the original one over from PROD, the Defaut Constraint names clashed.
The error message was misleading
You can right click the procedure, choose properties and see which permissions are granted to your login ID. You can then manually check off the "Execute" and alter permission for the proc.
Or to script this it would be:
GRANT EXECUTE ON OBJECT::dbo.[PROCNAME]
TO [ServerInstance\user];
GRANT ALTER ON OBJECT::dbo.[PROCNAME]
TO [ServerInstance\user];
This could be a permission issue. The user needs at least ALTER permission to truncate a table.
Another option is to call DELETE FROM instead of TRUNCATE TABLE, but this operation is slower because it writes to the Log file, whereas TRUNCATE does not write to the log file.
The minimum permission required is ALTER on table_name. TRUNCATE TABLE
permissions default to the table owner, members of the sysadmin fixed
server role, and the db_owner and db_ddladmin fixed database roles,
and are not transferable. However, you can incorporate the TRUNCATE
TABLE statement within a module, such as a stored procedure, and grant
appropriate permissions to the module using the EXECUTE AS clause.
Sharing my case, hope that will help.
In my situation inside MY_PROJ.Database->MY_PROJ.Database.sqlproj I had to put this:
<Build Include="dbo\Tables\MyTableGeneratingScript.sql" />
In my case I was running under a different user than the one I was expecting.
My code passed 'DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=...;DATABASE=...;Trusted_Connection=false;User Id=XXX;Password=YYY' as the connection string to pypyodbc.connect(), but it ended up connecting with the credentials of the Windows user that ran the script instead of the User Id= from the connection string.
(I verified this using the SQL Server Profiler and by putting an invalid uid/password combination in the connection string - which didn't result in an expected error).
I decided not to dig into this further, since switching to this better way of connecting fixed the issue:
conn = pypyodbc.connect(driver='{SQL Server}', server='servername',
database='dbname', uid='userName', pwd='Password')
In my case the sql server version on my localhost is higher than that on the production server and hence some new variables were added to the generated script from the localhost. This caused errors in creating the table in the first place.
Since the creation of the table failed, subsequent query on the "NON EXISITING" table also failed.
Luckily, in among the long list of the sql errors, I found this "OPTIMIZE_FOR_SEQUENTIAL_KEY = OFF" to be the new varialbe in the script causing my issue. I did a search and replace and the error went away.
Hope it helps someone.
The TRUNCATE statement was my first problem, glad to find the solution here. But I was using SSIS and trying to load data from another database, and it failed with the same error on any table that used IDENTITY to create an auto-incrementing ID. If I was scripting it myself I'd first need to use the command SET IDENTITY_INSERT tablename ON, and then SET IDENTITY_INSERT tablename OFF when the table update was done. But this requires ALTER permissions on the table, which I do not have. Hence the error message in SSIS on the table load (even though the previous step had just deleted all the data out of the table.)
You receive this error, when you use an ORM like GORM (https://gorm.io/) in Go for example.
When you try to create a struct and accidentally pass the ID (primary key) although it's inserted automatically.
Rich features IDE like Visual Studio Code make this mistake happen easily:
if tx := db.Create(&myStruct{
Ts: Time.Now(),
ID: 42,
}); tx.Error != nil {
t.Fatal(tx.Error)
}
You can still use auto-filling by Visual Studio Code, but delete your entry for your model's primary keys:
if tx := db.Create(&myStruct{
Ts: Time.Now(),
}); tx.Error != nil {
t.Fatal(tx.Error)
}
