While in SSMS 2014, I right clicked on one of my views, which I will simply refer to here as 'xxxxxx'. I then selected Design from the pop up menu. After making a small edit, I tried to save my modified view and got the following error,
- There is already an object named 'xxxxxx' in the database.
Needless to say, I didn't find that message very useful. How could I possibly be editing an object that DIDN'T already exist? I have not had this problem when editing any of my other views, many of which (like this one) depend on sub-queries.
My SQL Server skills are a bit limited and Googling this problem has not yet found a relevant answer. I would therefore be very grateful if someone would shed some light on this obscure error.
