Usually all the user datatypes in our databases have the owner dbo.
One has a few that are owned by a user with dbo rights. I am trying to change them to dbo owner.
Sp_changeobjectowner gives 'object does not exist'
Any ideas

Hello, We had a developer that created some user defined data types. He is no longer with our company and we want to change owner of those user defined data types so we will be able to delete his UUID. Is their a way to change the owner of the user defined data types from his ID to dbo. I don't see a way to change them with sp_changeobjectowner
Thanks in advance

Hi GuysWonder if you could help me.Basically I produce an accounts package that uses a SQL 2000 DB as theRDBMS. I always instruct users to login as 'sa' and the relevantpassword when doing an update to my program, as sometimes I need to dodatabase changes for new stuff.Found that one of my users has not only logged in with their loginname (in this case Edward), but have also made this login a 'db owner'so that when I created 2 new user-defined data types they belong toEdward rather than dbo.This must have happened a long time ago, but now that they want tomove Edward round the roles and/or delete him from a copy of thedatabase that they have, they can't because he's the owner of theseuser-defined types.This brings me to the reason for my post, how can I change the ownerfrom Edward to dbo for these data types? I found an article ontechnet of how to do this, but when it suggests changing myuser-defined type to standard format it doesn't seem to work.Any ideas?RgdsRobbie

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of cleaning up the security on one of our production databases. SA is already the owner of the database.
On this SQL server, there is a login that has access to this database that needs to be removed. When I uncheck this users access to this database I receive the following error message:
"Error 15183. The user owns objects in the database and cannot be dropped".
How can i find out what objects this logins has ownership of and how can I change the ownership of these objects to SA?
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
Does anyone know how to change the owner of a DTS package? Currently it is set to someone's domain login and I want to change it to the system administrator account.
The reason for the change is because I think this is why the package will not run when scheduled on the server, but will run locally for the user.
Thanks,
Brent.
We have received a DB from one of our customer.
We want to change the DB and tables (and all objects) owner to sa
How can we do that ?
Thanks
Hi- apologies for asking a stupid newbie question, but I'm really stuck atthe moment. I need to change table ownership.I've got an asp script which is looking for a table owned by the dbo role,however the table was created under a different ownership. I understand theproblem, and almost understand the solution, but I can't seem to get all theway.THE PROBLEM (using [server].[database].[owner].[table])[mgbsvr1].[dnn].[dnnadmin].[aspsearch]needs to be[mgbsvr1].[dnn].[dbo].[aspsearch]I looked up the books online and found this syntax:sp_changeobjectowner [ @objname = ] 'object' , [ @newowner = ] 'owner'But I can't see how to use it, nor more importantly, where I should use it.It won't work in the query tool in Enterprise Manager. If I need to create ascript (which I've never done before), how do I execute the script?All help deeply appreciatedManning, Sydney

Hi !!
I would greatly appreciate your help. I am a newbie at SQL Server..and am a
trainee DBA for my company. the problem I am facing is that till now the
developers were using any one of three (user created)logins and were creating
and manipulating objects. All the creation and modification of objects and
databases will be done by me. The problem is that the owners of the previously
created objects is one of those logins.
Is there anyway in which I can become the owner of all the objects and deny
them any rights on altering the objects ?? or do I have to drop them all and
recreate them with me as the DBO ?? Thanx

Hi all,I need to change a varchar from 35 to 50. In the SQL Server books online it says that SQL Server actually creates a new table when youchange the length. I ran a test in a test database and it appears theonly thing that changes is the length. All the data remains in tact.The table with the column I want to modify is very critical. Is thereany chance I would loose data if I change the length to a larger size? Iam making a back up of the table just in case. Thanks,Kelly
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
Is there any way or method to CHANGE the DATATYPE of a column in a published table being used for transactional replication (MSSQL 2000), WITHOUT DROPPING THE SUBSCRIPTION ????
Im stuck in this mess and do have the option to drop the subscription, alter the table, create the subscription and rerun the snapshot or to recreate it by Manual Synchronisation either.
Can anyone help? Has anyone been across this dilemma before and have troubleshooted the problem? If yes, help is much appreciated.
MY PROBLEM:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'MyTable' is currently being published and has subscriptions to it. The PRIMARY KEY column 'id' has an Identity property as well. 'id' is of datatype smallint, however because of bad planning, i now need to change that datatype to an integer to support a larger range WITHOUT DROPPING SUBSCRIPTIONS.
I CANT DROP THE COLUMN EITHER AS IT IS BEING THE PRIMARY KEY COLUMN.
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY I CAN DO TO ARCHIEVE MY GOAL? THANKYOU.
Changing datatype in a table used for merge replication ?
I'm trying to change the data type on a column in a table that is used for a merge-replication with another (identical) DB.
I get this error:
Cannot alter the table '[Tablename]' because it is being published for replication.
I've tried to remove that specific table from the publication (Publication properties -> Articles tab) so I can change the data type and then put the table back into the publication, but I can't (probably because it's a MERGE rep.)
Any ideas ?

I am trying to make the following update: All the columns are fine except for the 'name' column. datatype for 'name' column in the target table is varchar(30) and the datatype for 'name' in the sourcetable is varchar(40), I cannot change the datatype of the column 'name' to varchar(40) because I am told it may affect performance. what I want to do is just update the first 'name' column of the target table by the first 30 characters of the source table column 'name'
I am using the following query, is it possible to do it or are there any other ways I can update the column without changing the datatype?
MERGE INTO [S].[dbo].[AF_Copy] AS TargetTable

Is there a way to strip off the time portion of a datetime datatype without changing the datatype?
I know I can convert it using CONVERT (NVARCHAR(10), dbo.tblPayments.PaymentDate, 101) but I need to keep it as a datetime datatype?
Here is the issue. I have ReadOnly Access to a database. All of the Columns are set to NVARCHAR(1000) by default. I cannot change them. I want to load the DataSet into memory and change the DataType of the columns from NVARCHAR(1000) to INT(4).

How can I get different between DBO owner and another user when I select SP name from SYSOBJECTS? How to compare a SP's create by DBO and another user?
Example for, I want to list all SPs of DBO owner to excute my statement (as sp_changeobjowner...), but when I select all SPs in SYSOBJECTS to cursor, if there is any SPname's created by another user (no DBO), I'm getting error.
Thanks in advance,
J.K
We have SQL2000 and generally each user uses Windows authentication for their Enterprise Manager connections. When developers create tables, I would like them all to show DBO as the owner (DBO.TABLEA), not JOE.TABLEA.
What can I do to make this happen ?
Or any other thoughts on this area ?
TIA

vendor did a full backup for his database and put some folder not being backed up by TSM, he is the owner of the database, and delete his backup later. The backup is not copy only, all the differential and log backups taken are based on his FULL backup. so they cannot be restored.
QUESTION: To prevent this happen in the future, what is the normal practices? or any way to prevent db_owner to do the ad-hoc full backup? I am thinking of using DENY backup database, or write a policy claiming no responsibility if vendor make it happen again.
Hi everybody,I've five instances of SQL Server 2000 with the SAME database with aDIFFERENT owner in each server. I, as the administrator, have a lot ofqueries that I have to execute in some or all servers. The problem isthat I have to connect to all servers with MY user, not each of the dbowners...So I have queries this way:select * from mike.table1 t1 join mike.table2 t2 on...And when I connect to another server I have to change mike for jeremyin all the SQLs...And when I connect to another server I have to change jeremy for ninain all the SQLs...I know that there was an old, v7, deprecated way to change the"schema", something likechange current user to kimberlygoselect * from table1 t1 join table2 t2 on...This way, I'll change ONLY once the connected user. I could even do atthe beginning of the script an IF, to change the connected userdepending on @@SERVERNAME !!!Can someone remember this instruction???Thanks in advance for your help !!!
