Currently learning SQL server machine learning service and I had the same issue where database table pulls from one level below but the FROM where the location was different than finding a current location.

So I wrote exactly FROM where data was coming:

FROM [WideWorldImporters].[Application].[Cities_Archive]

Hope this could help at initial level

It doesn't necessarily mean that it can't find "ENG_PREP" in your SQL insert query itself. Check any triggers that run on that table as well and make sure all of them have the exact table name spelled correctly.

This JUST happened to me when debugging a stored procedure and it took me half an hour to find it.

Sounds like it can't find the table.

Check that you're connected to the correct database.
That the table exists and that it's the correct spelling.

I means the table ENG_PREP doesn't exist in the connection you are using.

Check if you are connected to the right server/database. Also check the table name.

It means that it doesn't know what ENG_PREP is.

You need to use a 'use xxx' (where xxx is the database name where the ENG_PREP lives) command first to tell it what database you are using. And once you do that, you need to make sure that ENG_PREP is present in that database.

If you're using .Net to connect, you need to make sure you specify the initial catalog so it knows what database to use, here's an example excerpt from a web.config:

<add name="SqlConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=your_db_name_here;Integrated Security=True"
     providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
