MS SQL Error "Invalid object name" on table I just created

I get an

invalid object name

error when I try to insert records into a table that I just created.

I am using Microsoft SQL 2000. I am testing all of this on the super user account, so there are no permissions issues.

Create the table:

No errors creating the table!!

I can select from the table:

select * from table_test2  

But when I try to insert, I get an error that the object is not fonud:

insert into table_test2
('User 4', 'User 3', 'User 2')
values
('a','b','c')

Returns error:

Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 Invalid object name 'table_test'.

They don't have the same name though. The one you have created has a 2 suffix.

CREATE TABLE [table_test2]

And

select * from table_test 

If you are sure you weren't making a similar error with your select/insert statements I would suggest running the following.

select * from 
sysobjects /*For SQL Server 2000*/
where name like 'table_test%'

Additionally your insert statement looks dodgy. I think you would need square brackets or double quotes not single quotes. I'm not sure if that could produce the error you were seeing.

insert into table_test
([User 4], [User 3], [User 2])
values
('a','b','c')

Are you certain you are using the correct database? Try using the USE statement right before each, or prefixing the table with the name of the database, for example:

CREATE TABLE mydatabase..table_name  ...
INSERT INTO mydatabase..table_name ...

The '..' prefix can be used so you don't need to specify the schema (e.g. dbo).

Hope that helps.

Syntax error. Need to wrap the insert statement column list with brackets rather than quotes:

this would be the proper syntax:

 insert into table_test2
    ([User 4], [User 3], [User 2])
    values
    ('a','b','c')

In your CREATE TABLE statement, the name of the table is table_test2
