On Microsoft SQL Server, Error 1060 means you’re trying to add a table, index, or constraint that already exists — a duplicate object.
To fix it: check whether the object name exists (use sys.objects or information_schema), rename or drop the duplicate, then retry your schema change.

SQL Server error code 1060 occurs when a duplicate column name is detected in a table during creation or modification. This usually happens if a column is accidentally added twice or a script attempts to reuse an existing column name. To fix it, rename or remove the duplicate column in the table definition.

SQL Server error code 1060 indicates a duplicate column conflict. This occurs when a column name is repeated in a CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statement. Fixing it involves reviewing the table structure, ensuring all column names are unique, and modifying scripts to avoid duplicates.

SQL Server error code 1060 appears if a table’s column name is duplicated during creation or alteration. This violates SQL naming rules. To resolve, identify the duplicate column in the table schema, rename or remove it, and rerun the command. Ensuring unique column names prevents this error.
