I got this error on production for a report which was working fine in Dev and it took me a while to figure out the cause. Report's Data Source was pointing to a SQL Server View, when I looked at the SQL Query ( Database - > Show SQL Query ), I noticed that Database name was there with view name: "DbName.dbo.ViewName" I did a lot of googling, trying to figure out a way to change this behaviour and have just "dbo.ViewName" in SQL, but in vain. For now, I have fixed it by putting the SQL in the view ......
