Error 2501 : Cannot find a table or object with the name . Check the system catalog.

This is very generic error beginner DBAs or Developers faces. The solution is very simple and easy. Follow the direction below in order.

Fix/Workaround/Solution:

Make sure that correct Database is selected. If not please run USE YourDatabase.

Check the object or table name. They must be spelled correct.

If database is case sensitive please use correct case.

Use object belongs to other owner use two parts name as scheme_name.object_name.
