Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database 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.
I am the db owner but still wouldnt let me install and create diagrams.
I have created a database with several tables. I want to create a database diagram to show the relationshipbetween the tables. Below are the steps from the SQL Server 2005 documentation on how to create a database diagram. The problem is that when I right click on the Database Diagrams folder I am only given two options. They are:"Working with SQL Server diagrams" and "Refresh"There is no menu choice to create a new database diagram. Can anyone tell me what the problem here is?
To create a new database diagramIn Object Explorer, right-click the Database Diagrams folder or any diagram in that folder. Choose New Database Diagram on the shortcut menu. The Add Table dialog box appears. Select the required tables in the Tables list and click Add. The tables are displayed graphically in the new database diagram.
Hello: I have an old database created in SQL Server 2000, now I can open, access it in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, but I can't create Data Diagrams. Please advise on how to make it work.... Thank you
When trying to create a DB diagram on my local SQL Server 2005 db, I get the following error: cannot insert the value null into column "diagram_id" I have searched the web and can't seem to find anything on this. I just simply drag one table from my local db onto the diagram windows and try to Save it and that's what I get. I'm able to save diagrams on a networked SQL Server. Does anybody know how I can resolve this issue?
I€™m trying to create a DB for my course at Uni and as far as I€™m aware to create a DB on my desktop at home I need to use CE.
So I created a new DB in CE and then created some tables and I now want to create a relationship diagram but there isn€™t an option to do it. In the toolbar the relationship icon is permanently greyed out and unusable and there isn€™t a node in object explorer.
Can this be done and am I just missing something obvious? I€™m running it on Vista and I have installed the latest SP, could that cause any problems?
Im going crazy and any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a case study requesting to create an ER diagram, with the attributes listed in each entity. The data I have is an Excel Spreadsheet listing:
CustomerName PurchaseDate Destination Airline Flight# departDate DapartTime ArriveTime Hotel CheckIn CheckOut Car Rental Pickup Return
The case is related to travel agency that specializes in booking interesting vacations for people who are single. Note that the travellers have a variety of travel bookings: some may rent a car and drive to the hotel at their destination, others may be staying with friends or relatives at their destination, while others will need flights, hotel and car rentals in their booking.
creation of the Tables and their attributes to Normalize the model to 3NF.
I've been tasked to create a database diagram, save it and send that db diagram to the user. Now, I am confused as I don't know where sql server stores the db diagram...what is the path where it stores the diagram. How do I export it in case if I need to provide it to the user. How, am I supposed to grant user permission so he himself can create a database diagram.
Hi,I have to prepare an ER diagram for the objects in my SQL Serverdatabase. I have used the option "DIAGRAMS" in EnterPrise Manager ofSQL Server 2000. It is creating the diagram for the selected tables(but the diagram contains only the table which i have selected. It isnot displaying its depended tables). But i am not able to export it toany of the flat file like MS WORD or paint. I want this diagram to beuploaded to one Flat file and send to my customer for his reference.Could anyone suggest me how to create the ER Diagram for the SQL 2000database and export it to a flat file.Thanks for your help in advance.-Rao
Is it possible to create diagram from existing database? Need to understand the schema of database which has no documentation. So would like to create diagram for that database.
I have created a database using VB Express 2005 express edition and I have created number of tables and SP's etc.
I am trying to use the database diagram tool but I get an error stating that the database doesn't have a valid dbo. I say yes to the prompt about making myself a valid dbo but I then get a message stating that I do not have permissions to imprersonate the dbo.
For some reason, when I try to access a database diagram on our new 2005 SQL Server, I get the following error msg: "Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner" It then goes on to instruct me to either use Properties > Files or ALTER AUTHORIZATION to change the database owner. Well, I've done that - and it clearly shows that there is an owner of the database, but even if I log in as that owner, the error msg continues to come up everytime I try to access Diagrams. I found a post to run the following stored procedure which will set the sql server compatability level: EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel database_name, 90 After running that in the query window of Management Stduio, I get the following msg below on the Messages tab: "DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator." I then try to create a new diagram again, and I get the same initial error (at the top of this post). What do I need to do in order to create a DB diagram?
I have a good size database (113 tables & views, each with an average of ~15 columns). I'd like to use SQL Server 2005 to create a basic table-layout diagram with fields for the DB, and then move that diagram to Visio or similar (even a bitmap) for additional annotations and updates. What I've seen so far with the tool that comes with SQL Server is that it's about good enough to do the initial generation and save me the work of having to type out the ~1600+ fields plus the relationships, but would be clumsy to use after that.
Unfortunately, so far I haven't seen a way to do any kind of export. It doesn't even want to let me print it (though it will, oddly, layout page-breaks for me). I'm currently using SSMS Standard edition (not express, but not pro either), so if that's the problem we do have a pro liscense for only one of the users here- I might be able to get him to do the export for me.
I detached a SLQ 2000 database and reattached it in 2005 Developers.When I try to access the Diagrams, the below message is received. Mydomain account is owner. I'm local Admin on my machine.

Relationships between tables disappear without explanation in thedatabase diagram using SQL Server 2005.Many thanks for any thoughts/questions on the topic!
I upgraded from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. The database owner is sa and I am logging in as sa in Management Studio. But when I click on Database diagrams I get the following error
"Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner.

I am a beginner in learning SQLServer 7.And I learn it by using its own help file. The only problem troubles me is that after I do some options in database diagram,there's nothing happen.And then no matter what I do,database diagram panel is always blank.
Hi all, I am trying to create a diagram for our database, during the creating, I create some of the relationships which were not there(basically our original database is not relational database, that's why I am doing it) So sometimes I have to chage data type in order to create a relationship for the coloumns in different tables. i.e. change char(16) to varchar(7) (I checked the field that make sure all the data in this field is <= 7 characters)
But when I saved the diagram, there is an error message that state: Errors were encountered during the save process. Some of your database objects are not saved on your diagram.
'agent' table saved successfully 'VisitUSA' table - Unable to create relationship 'FK_VisitUSA_agent'. ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_VisitUSA_agent'. The conflict occurred in database 'CMC', table 'agent', column 'AgentCode'.
What does that mean? is it caused by some of the agentcode data in VisitUSA table which is not in agent table? Thanks! Betty
I've seen threads concerning this problem. I have followed the prescribed steps to fix the problem. I've set the db owner to sa, I've set compatibility to 2005. Still I can't get the diagram to function.
