Database Diagrams Missing

Apr 19, 2008

Hi All,

I€™ve just installed SQL 2008 Express CTP. Everything seems to be fine except that the folder €śDatabase Diagrams€? is absent in the tree of SQL Server Management Studio. It is the same for newly created databases and databases upgraded from 2005 Express.
Any ideas how to get the diagrams back?

Is there a way to use an Oracle linked server to create a database diagram? Or do I have to bring the whole Oracle db into SQL7 and then create the diagram?

Do you need to be a member of the dbo role or an sa on a particular sql server to create a database diagram? I just want to confirm this is the case.

Any assistance will be helpful.

DataBase Diagrams

Nov 29, 2007

In 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.

Hello all,

I upsized an access backend to sql 2005. In the process, the relationships were lost. When I go to the database in Sql, right click on database diagrams, all I get is refresh and a link to go to learn about database diagrams. How can I recreate the diagrams?

Thanks

Database Diagrams Tool

Jun 26, 2006

When I use the sql 2005 "Database Diagrams" tool for the first time I always get the message: "The Database does not have one or more of the support objects required to use database diagramming. Do you wish to create them?"



1. Does anyone know what the " support objects" referred to are?

2. Why SQL doesn't automatically create these support objects for me? (e.g. do they require a lot of hard disk space so they shouldn't routinely be created?)

3. Is there any way to make Sql automatically create them?

If you can address any of these points I'd appreciate it.



TIA,

Want To Be Able To Create Or View Database Diagrams

Jan 21, 2006

Our MS SQL (SQL Server 2000) DBA has database privileges locked downpretty tightly. We end users/developers do not have administratorprivileges for most databases. That arrangement has worked out OK forthe most part. However, it's a bit aggravating that we can't evencreate our own database diagrams. When we attempt to do so (inEnterprise Manager), we get a dialog that says "You do not havesufficient privilege to create a new database diagram."Our DBA is so busy that it's difficult to get them to create ones forus. And even when they do, it seems that we can't even view it online-- we rely on the DBA to give us printed copies or screenshots for ourdocumentation. How ridiculous is that? We'd also like to be able tomanipulate the diagrams online so that we can more easily study ourtable structures, indexes, foreign key constraints, etc. In fact,there doesn't even seem to be any other way to easily view currentforeign key constraints.I realize that this might have to do with the diagramming tool havingthe ability to actually manipulate the database in ways we aren'tsupposed to do (e.g., like creating new tables). However, isn't therea "read-only" version of this tool that will give us what I'm lookingfor? Short of that, are there any other free or cheap tools that willprovide this? Thanks!(Please forgive my ignorance if this has been hashed out before.However, I did search news groups and the web before posting, figuringthis had been covered before, but I didn't find anything thatspecifically addressed this issue.)

SQL Server 2005 Database Diagrams

Mar 24, 2006

This 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.

Creating Self Joins With Database Diagrams ??

Feb 27, 2008

Hello

I'm new to VWD 2008 Express and MSSQL 2005 Express development (not to programming in genral), and I have this problem with creating a self join using Database Diagram in VWD2008 Express.

In SQL 2005 Express (through VWD) it's not possible to add the table to the diagram twice and its not possible to give the table an alias either.


Is it a limitation in the SQL Express or am I doing something wrong ?

Extract & Copy 2005 Database Diagrams

Dec 21, 2007

I have database diagrams in my original db which was built with Management Studio. I now have scripts to build the database from scratch, but my diagrams are left behind, back in the original db. Is there any way to copy the original diagrams into the new db? I know in SS2000 the diagrams were in the dtproperties table; any idea where they are in SS2005?

Script, Save, Export SQL Database Diagrams

Jul 20, 2005

When 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

Creating Database Diagrams With SQL Compact 3.5 And VS2008 RTM

Nov 30, 2007

I'm using VS2008 RTM with a new SQL Compact 3.5 database and I read in VS2008 and SQL Compact 3.5 BOL that Database Diagrams are supported as well as Foreign Key creation from Server Explorer.

However, there doesn't seem to be support for this. Database Diagram commands are not displayed for this new database (but it is for my SQL Express database) as instructed by BOL.

Can anyone tell me if VS2008 fully supports SQL Compact 3.5 with database diagrams and visual tools to create relationships? If so, how can you create a database diagram in VS2008 for SQL Compact 3.5?

Retrieving The Tables Relationship From SQL Server Database Diagrams

May 26, 2004

Hi 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
