Data Source Error Invalid Column Name

[Anonymous]

I'm connecting to an Azure SQL db. I haven't had a problem with other tables and views on this server, but for some reason, this view is giving me trouble. Any idea how to resolve this error?

DataSource.Error: Microsoft SQL: Invalid column name 'Exception'. Details: DataSourceKind=SQL DataSourcePath=....database.windows.net;OpsRpt-SQLDB-EUS Message=Invalid column name 'Exception'. ErrorCode=-2146232060 Number=207 Class=16

Is the problem with the actual column name 'Exception'? Is this a reserved word?

@Anonymous interesting, not sure. Can you create a view in the SQL and rename the column to something different and see if it works. Atleast that will give the clarification.

thanks for the reply parry. I ended up deleting the query, and starting again, and the view was just fine....not sure what was going on....

Hi @Anonymous !

It seems someone has renamed the column name which breaks your query since it might be using (select * from view) format to refer the view.

When you deleted the query & re-created it, it works fine because of the schema refresh.
