Sql-server – sql server invalid object name – but tables are listed in SSMS tables list

sql serverssms

I am attempting to create a Stored Procedure for a newly created database. However the SSMS intellisense does not recognize more than half of the tables which have been created.

For example whilst in the left hand column under tables I have a table dbo.Room, when I type "dbo." in the new query window, that table is not listed, in fact only 17 out of 37 tables are listed.

I can see no difference between the tables listed by intellisense and those not. If I manually type dbo.Room, it is underlined, with an error of

Invalid Object Name 'dbo.Room'..

Have I missed something in setting up the tables?

UPDATE: I have tried refresh of the tables list (several times)

Try:

Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache

This should refresh the data cached by Intellisense to provide typeahead support and pre-execution error detection.

NOTE: Your cursor must be in the query editor for the IntelliSense menu to be visible.

Sql-server – Get list of databases from SQL Server

Execute:

SELECT name FROM master.sys.databases

This the preferred approach now, rather than dbo.sysdatabases, which has been deprecated for some time.

Execute this query:

SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases

or if you prefer

EXEC sp_databases

Sql – How to list all foreign keys referencing a given table in SQL Server

Not sure why no one suggested but I use sp_fkeys to query foreign keys for a given table:

EXEC sp_fkeys 'TableName'

You can also specify the schema:

EXEC sp_fkeys @pktable_name = 'TableName', @pktable_owner = 'dbo'

Without specifying the schema, the docs state the following:

If pktable_owner is not specified, the default table visibility rules of the underlying DBMS apply.

In SQL Server, if the current user owns a table with the specified name, that table's columns are returned. If pktable_owner is not specified and the current user does not own a table with the specified pktable_name, the procedure looks for a table with the specified pktable_name owned by the database owner. If one exists, that table's columns are returned.
