SQL Server 2012R2 Express, I need to change db owner from Domain1User1 to Domain2User1.
Both SQL login Domain2User1 and db user Domain2User1 exist; db user Domain2User1 is mapped to SQL login
Domain2User1.
When I try to change db owner from Domain1User1 to Domain2User1
I get the error:
This article does not imply any restrictions on users that can be made db owners: [URL]....
"In SQL Server, the owner of the current database can be changed. Any user, a SQL Server login or Microsoft Windows user, who has access to connect to SQL Server can become the owner of a database."
Why can't I make the owner of a db an SQL login that have a mapped user in that db?
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, I just imported my access database into sql server 2000 and apparently during this importation the owner was set to my name. This gives my a problem retrieving the data in asp.net though. I found out that the problem (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid object name 'tablename') is situated at this ownership by stripping the query to a bare minimum and trying it on a new table created in sql server with dbo as the owner. My problem now is that I can't seem to find the way to change the owner to dbo from 'peterj'. Can you help me on this one ??
I have several Production Databases on my SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition Server (mixed mode authentication) that I'd like to change DBO Permissions on. When I look at the Properties of the DB(s) from EM, the Database owner is showing up as a Windows NT USer who is no longer even with the company!!
Can I use the sp_changedbowner 'sa' command to change the database owner to sa without disrupting Production? Might sound like a dumb question.. but ya never know!!!!! Also, I had someone on another forum tell me that 'sa' as db owner is a bad idea but I don't know why??????? can anyone elaborate on that?????
I need to change the owner of all stored procedures from x to y. I know there is a sp_changeobjectowner sp, which does that, but in that way I will have to write a loop to get all sps which are owned by user x. Can somebody help me with that?
Hello,I'm using tableadapters in VWD 2005 Express to link our ASP.NET application to a SQL Server 2000 database. Initially, I used Database Explorer to drop tables into the DataSet object, which picks up the owner of the tables from the database.Recently, we had to change the owner of all objects in the database, including tables and stored procedures. When we run our application it chokes on stored procedures because the owner of the SP's has changed. My question is: how can I update tables and tableadapters in the DataSet to reflect the change in owner, without having to recreate everything in DataSet?
Hi,I just transferred my website and database (SQL 2000) to a new host who's SQL Manager doesn't support the previous username I had for the database.The previous owner of database tables etc was Database_master and now I want to change it to just Master.Please advise! Someone else designed the website for me, and honestly I have just some basic knowledge of databases and such.I would appreciate help and if possible with detailed steps.Many thanks in advance,Isje
Hello, I'm trying to access the Database Diagram of a sql database I created but am getting the error:
"The database does not have a valid dbo user" I also noticed that my NT group user was incorrect and this is the name being used as the owner of the database. How do i change this?
i have around 100 stored procedures that are created by andrew user and now i want to change the owner of all these SP's to DBO is there any way to do it....
or
do i need to manually do it for each and every object seperately...
We set up a few tables while being logged in as a different user. Now, those tables are not accessible via some ASP pages because they aren't DBO-owned tables. Relationships do exist on these tables, but no significant data. Is there a way to change the owner, or do I need to delete the table and start over?

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' update sysdtspackages set owner = 'newname' where owner ='oldname' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Because in this case i update all old name.

I restored and renamed a client database from a backup file to my laptop (both SQL Express 2005) and noticed that no owner had been assigned. I set the db-owner to SA. This database will replace a local version of the same database that was created on my laptop. (The customer has entered data...)
When I start the dataset configuration wizard in VS2005 all tables appear twice in the list. Once with the original name and once with the prefix dbo. For example: Customer and dbo.Customer.
The tables with the dbo. prefix are marked with a Red Cross in the checkbox. Hovering over them display the error message: "Element .. in the dataset references an object missing from the database. "
The tables without the dbo. prefix are not marked. When I mark these tables VS2005 indicates that the table will be renamed to Customer1. The same issue applies to all the views in the database.
Is there a way to solve this problem without having to recreate the entire dataset? I'd rather not do that cause I added some queries to the dataset and they will be lost and have to be recreated.
I have verified that myaspx error was due to the owner of the table is not dbo. However, I don't know how to use sp_changeobjectowner to change the table owner to dbo. I even tried sp_changetableowner, but didn't work. SQL Server gave me a hint of '@newowner' parameter; still, I could not get it.
I have to make a copy of an existing database and call it something different. That part was easy because I simply backed it up and then restored it with a different name.
OrigDbName
Table1 Owner OrigDdName
Table2 Owner OrigDdName
But now I find that all the tables still have the original database name as the owner and I cannot refer to them programmatically unless I use the original database name.
NewDbName
Table1 Owner OrigDdName
Table2 Owner OrigDdName
So how do I change the owner of the tables to the new database name. What I really need is;
NewDbName
Table1 Owner NewDdName
Table2 Owner NewDdName
Please be as specific as possible because I am not a DBA and I am out of my depth once it gets beyond the basics of using commands like Alter Table.
On some preexisting subscriptions there is a single person that is the owner of the subscription. Is there a way to change the ownername to someone else without having to delete the whole subscription and reenter it under the new owner name? I am aware that you can use groups, but these subscriptions already exist and have a single owner.
We ran into weird/interesting issue with below details.
Version: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3000.0 (X64) Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 <X64> (Build 9200):
We are using SQLCMD to run DDL script on our product database in below order. That script has below content.
step # 1 - database collation change (case -sensitive) statement as very first statement of the script step # 2 - Actual DDL SQL statements step # 3 - database collation change back to original (case insensitive)
When we execute all above 3 steps in single script using SQLCMD on our test_server#1 , it is successful but when same is being implemented on test_ server#2 , it is failing.We ensured that there is no other user accessing the db and setting on both the server are all default/basic. Separating out all 3 steps in 3 different script working fine. This is only problem when we combine them into single script and fire it using SQLCMD. If it is something related to session/transaction then we should hit same issue on our test_server#1 server as well but that is not the case.test_server#1 and test_server#2 has exact same database/data, just two different physical machine & SQL Server instance.
Hi, it has to do with my unfamiliarity with creating users and dbo privileges. I'm trying to grant access to an outside vendor to import their latest version of a database. I set them up with a user account that had db_owner privileges, however when they ran the dts process it copied all the data as new tables rather than overwriting the existing tables and the new tables were all associated with the user is created instead of dbo user. What do I need to do to facilitate this process?
