Script, Save, Export SQL Database Diagrams
Jul 20, 2005When you create database diagrams in Enterprise Manager, the detailsfor constructing those diagrams is saved into the dtproperties table.This table includes an image field which contains most of the relevantinfomation, in a binary format.SQL Enterprise manager offers no way to script out those diagrams, soI have created two Transact SQL components, one User Function and oneUser Procedure, which together provide a means to script out thecontents of the dtproperties table, including all of the binary basedimage data, into a self documenting, easy to read script. This scriptcan be stowed away safely, perhaps within your versioning software,and it can subsequently be recalled and executed to reconstruct allthe original diagrams.The script is intelligent enough not to overwrite existing diagrams,although it does allow the user to purge any existing diagrams, ifthey so choose.Once these two objects have been added to any database, you may thenbackup (script out) the current database diagrams by executing thestored procedure, like this:Exec usp_ScriptDatabaseDiagramsBy default, all database diagrams will be scripted, however, if youwant to script the diagrams individually, you can execute the sameprocedure, passing in the name of a specific diagram. For example:Exec usp_ScriptDatabaseDiagrams 'Users Alerts'The Transact SQL code for the two objects is too long to paste here,but if you are interested, I will email it to you. Just drop me a noteat: Join Bytes! (Remove bothinstances of TAKE_THIS_OUT from my email address first!!)-Clay

SQL Server 2005 Database Diagrams
Mar 24, 2006This question has been asked several times on this forum, but none of the answers I've seen have worked for me. I just upgraded from SQL Server 2000.
The error I'm getting is:
does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects.
This is a new database I created in SQL Server management studio. It's set to 90 compatibility level. I've tried the "alter authorization" command, which works, but it has no effect (the error is still returned).
The odd part is that if I go to Server Properties->Permissions, select the Login that owns this database, and click "Effective Permissions", I get the error:
Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user '<username>', error code 0x6e. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15404)
But I know for certain that this account is valid and that my machine can reach the domain controller: 1) I received no error when I added this Login to the server and 2) I'm logged into SQL Server Management Studio using the same login.
If I switch to the "sa" user, it works. But I'd really rather find out what I can't use Windows authentication.
SQL Server 2000 Diagrams Without Enterprise Manager
Oct 24, 2006Hi,I currently (for a hobby project) am unable to use SQL Server 2005, and rather am stuck with 2000. Since the way diagrams are handled changed, the tool for 2005 doesn't allow for the creation of diagrams when using it for 2000 (work sweet for everything else though!).I do not have access to a developer version of SQL Server 2000's tools, and thus no Enterprise Manager, leading me to my question: Are there any free utilities to replace this functionality? I don't have MS Access or Visio or anything like that unfortunately :(

Retrieving The Tables Relationship From SQL Server Database Diagrams
May 26, 2004Hi All,
Currently i am defining a simple relationship between
Customers->Orders->Order Details through the Database Diagrams feature in
the SQL 2K. Using the Server Explorer, i can see the Database Diagrams, but
when i try to "drop" the Database Diagrams into the page, it gives the error
message.
I would like to know the procedures to retrieve the database relationships
from Database Diagrams and manipulate them through ADO.NET
I prefer to "convert" already defined relationship using SQL Server Database
Diagrams into XSD file or probably there is another method to "read" those
relationship and manipulate them.
Thank you very much for all your help

How To Copy Diagrams
Aug 6, 2002Subject says it all; how do I copy diagrams from one SQL2K database to another? (This is coming up because I'm converting collation sequences by DTSing data from DB1 to DB2, where DB1 was copied from SQL7 and DB2 was created with the collation I want. It gets tables and views, but not Diagrams and Stored Procedures. )
Thanks,

DataBase Diagrams
Nov 29, 2007In our organization, we are using SQL Server 2005 Management studio as the client interface to access all our enterprise Databases.Most of the databases are built on SQL 2005 DB Server.
However, We have one of the Database built on SQL Server 2000, which also has Database diagrams in it. Though We are able to view all the DB objects through SQL 2005 managment studio interface, but unable to view the diagrams.
I understand that, the binary data of the diagrams are stored in "dtproperties" table on SQL 2000 but in SQL 2005, it is stored in "sysobjects"(not sure) table and both are entirely different.
Following are my questions.
1.Since the DB is still on SQL 2000,How can we view the diagram objects thru the SQL 2005 Enterprise manager.
2.For the migration process of SQL 2000 to SQL 2005, How can i migrate the database diagrams.
Appreciate the responses.

Moving DB Diagrams Across Servers?
Oct 17, 2007Hi all, I have a database that is duplicated on 4 different SQL Server 2000 servers. I created a database diagram in one of those identical databases using EM, and thought I would like to copy it across to the other 3 databases. I can't find any way to do that though.
Any ideas? I can right-click and copy the diagram in the source server/database, but can't "paste" into the second server/database's Diagrams directory.
I know the diagram is created from the objects in the dabase, but mine required some customization and it would be really cool if someone has a silver bullet I could borrow to make the diagrams in the other DB's match up to the formatted one.
