Getting "Invalid object name" error during Schema Comparison

Hello,

I've got some code to synch the schemas of two databases. When I run it, I get an exception during the .ExecuteBlock function that comes back with "Invalid Object Name 'MSS.dbo.wallMainCondition'". I've looked through both databases (which I ran through the SchemaCompare tool from RedGate) and the tables exist in both databases.

The two databases are currently both residing on my machine as Im testing out the code for a client. Im not sure where/why it is appending MSS to the front of dbo.wallMainCondition, as the word MSS appears no where in the resulting script. Below is the code fragment and resulting script produced.

Thanks in advance,

Chadwick




****************CODE FRAGMENT**************************
// Now generate a differences object to hold differences between
// the two database schemas.
Differences differences = db1.CompareWith(db2, Options.Default);
foreach (Difference difference in differences)
{
if (difference.DatabaseObjectType == ObjectType.User || difference.DatabaseObjectType == ObjectType.Schema)
{
difference.Selected = false;
}
else
{
difference.Selected = true;
}
}

// Create the SQL execution script to run on the TB if any differences are found
ExecutionBlock blockSchema = null;
try
{
if (differences.Count > 0)
{
Work work = new Work();
work.BuildFromDifferences(differences, Options.Default | Options.IgnoreUsers | Options.IgnoreUserProperties | Options.IgnoreOwners, true);
blockSchema = work.ExecutionBlock;

/// DEBUG:
FileInfo tDiff = new FileInfo("SchemaDifferences.txt");
StreamWriter TexSchema = tDiff.CreateText();
TexSchema.WriteLine(blockSchema.GetString());
TexSchema.Write(TexSchema.NewLine);
TexSchema.Close();
///

BlockExecutor executorSchema = new BlockExecutor();
executorSchema.ExecuteBlock(blockSchema, strServerTB, strDatabaseTB);
}
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
m_bLoggedIn = false;
string strMsg = "Error executing SQL statement block during schema compare: " + exc.Message.ToString();
MessageBox.Show(strMsg, "Error");
}
finally
{
blockSchema.Dispose();
db1.Dispose();
db2.Dispose();
}

    Hi Chad,

    I can't say where this object name is coming from without knowing your database schema. If it doesn't appear in the actual update script, then I'd assume you have got a DDL trigger somewhere running this code as a result of your attempted schema modification.

    Thanks for the prompt reply. : )

    If it is a DDL trigger, is there some way I can tell the toolkit to ignore it, or to not append it when running the script?

    I took the SQL script output and tried running it directly in MSSQL 2005. It came back with the error:

    Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1
    Could not find stored procedure 'MSS'.

    As far as I know, there are no stored procedures in the database. Any thoughts?

    There is an option to disable ddl triggers: DisableAndReenableDdlTriggers
    You can use this option wherever you can specify Options, for instance in the Work.BuildFromDifferences method.

    Ok, I tried it with the DisableAndReenableDdlTriggers option and got the same result.

    When I run the SQL script in 2005 Im getting this error:

    Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_refreshview, Line 1
    Invalid object name 'MSS.dbo.wallMainCondition'.

    I can't find the SP sp_refreshview in the database...even in the system SP's.

    Hi,

    I think that SQL Compare updates views that are dependent on tables that are being updated as well. Have you got a view named wallMainCondition, and if so, can you try dropping and recreating it? It seems like a compiled version of the view is incorrect or something wierd like that.
