Mel,
I’m enjoying your videos and have made a decision to learn SQL. I plan to go thru your free SQL 101 videos then purchase the SQL 2008 AT. I have loaded the Veronica database and followed 1-6 videos with no issues. Now video 7 is a different story. I tried to use the LoadClientMatch.sql with no luck. I keep getting the follow error “Msg 208, Level 16, State 82, Line 3 Invalid object name ‘ClientFlowerMatch’.
Ex…
SE [veronicas]
GO
BULK
INSERT ClientFlowerMatch
FROM ‘c:\TrainSignal\SQL101\ClientFlowerMatch.csv’
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ‘,’,
ROWTERMINATOR = ‘\n’
)
GO
I’m sure it’s something really stupid on my part. Can you give me a quick helping hand so I can continue practicing along with the videos?
