Hi, guys. i tried to create a diagram for a database in SQL Server 2005.
After creating the diagram, there were no relationships indicated among the data. Why did this happen?
I've tried to create the diagrams on 2000 version with same database, it did list out all the relationships but why not 2005?
M i K e
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.
My question is complete in Subject!
I need some inside of following?
Diff between database diagram (in SQL Server 2005) and Entity Relationship Diagram?
If database is developed in SQL Server 2005 then how we can generate its ER Diagram?
Thanks in advance!!!
Hello,
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.
Can anyone out there help me?
Thanks, Bill

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.
How do I overocome this issue?
Thanks

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. 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."
How can I fix it?

how to move sql diagram from one sql server 2005 to another?
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor 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.
when i trying to create a new database diagram
it shows :
An unexpected error happened during this operation
[Ms design tools] - Invalid class string
can any 1 explain for me?
thank you
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.

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

I am working through a book about setting up a database, though i'm doing it slightly differently, using a sql server database on a remote server rather than the local sql server express database shipped with visual studio.
everything has been going fine until i've reached a part where they want to add a database diagram to the existing database. they talk about right clicking the database diagram node, and selecting add, but for some reason there is no database diagram node, so i can't do it this way. the book also says using the data>add new>diagram from the menu, but when i do this i either have no diagram option (when i have no table opened) or else the diagram option is greyed out and unselectable (when i have a table opened).
any ideas on how i can add a database diagram?

i am trying to create a database diagram but this error appears. what does this mean and what should i do? tnx
This database does not have a valid dbo user or you do not have permissions
to impersonate the dbo user, so database diagramming is not available.
Ensure the dbo account is valid and ensure that you have impersonate
permission on the dbo account.
Is there any benefit as far as performance for creating a databasediagram in SQL Server 2K?Just wondering...lq

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.
What is the advantages/disadvantages of using Database Diagram and link all the tables in MS SQL Server Management Studio versus letting the application check and link the different tables at run time? Currently, I do not have all my tables linked in a Database Diagram. I do everything at run time in my application code behind. What are the best practices? Which is easier or perhaps more secure?

Please help.
I am having trouble printing a database diagram.
When I do, I get junk artifacts on the page on each table, shaded areas that obscure part of the picture.
I get these results when I print with Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and when I print to my HP4200N laser printer.
Is there a required driver or something?
Please advise.
(I apologize but this is the only good place I could find for this post-- if you have any hints for other locations then please post links.)

Hi Everybody,
Can anybody tell me what is Database Diagram or Object Diagram?. I have seen this word in one of the questions in this Discussion Board.
And also anybody can say what is Catalog?. One of my friend saying it is nothing but Master DB. Is it so?.
