Changing Database Owner To Access Diagrams
Jan 23, 2007
hello,
i recently changed the machine name of my development computer and am now no longer able to create or view any diagrams for the sql database that was created by the old machine name user. i receive an error where I cannot make myself "the dbo of this database." i can see the old name in the "owner" properties field of the mdf database, but the box is grayed out and i am unable to change it to the new machine/user name. is there a way to change the owner of the database to my new machine/user name? the new name has admin rights and the computer is a standalone workstation not connected to a network.
i am using sql server 2005 express edition with visual web developer.
thanks!

Hi,
When I try to access the database diagrams in AdventureWorks, I get the following message:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
------------------------------
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.
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
OK
------------------------------
Why is this?
All advice / help apprecuated.
Thanks

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.

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 there,We have a user name convention here that specifies users in thefollowing way:jane.doejohn.smithIn order to change a database object I must specify the owner name alongwith the object name. Does anyone know the proper syntax for doing thiswith a user name that contains a period? When I put the user namefollowed by the object name in quotes such as 'jane.doe.tb_test_table',SQL Server can not find the object.Any help is appreciated.Kelly

I'm trying to create a new database and new login to allow a client(through my asp.net page) to create their own database, username andpassword. I've tried using the stored procedures I've found in BOL,but I can't get it to work right. It keeps saying that I can't assignthis username as the db owner since it's already a user for thedatabase. I then read other posts about reassigning the db owner toanother dummy account and then trying to reassign it to the new one,but that isn't working either. Can anyone look at my code and tell mewhat I'm doing wrong? Thanks.//create db loginqry = "sp_addlogin '" + username + "', '" + password + "', '" + dbname+ "'";cmd.CommandText = qry;cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();//grant login access to new database to new ownertmpCon = new SqlConnection("Data Source=ourserver;UserID=uid;Password=pwd;Initial Catalog=" + dbname + ";NetworkLibrary=DBMSSOCN;");tmpcmd = new SqlCommand("sp_grantdbaccess '" + username + "'",tmpCon);tmpCon.Open();tmpcmd.ExecuteNonQuery();tmpcmd.Dispose(); tmpcmd = null;tmpCon.Close(); tmpCon.Dispose(); tmpCon = null;//connect to new database under sa account and change owner to newaccounttmpCon = new SqlConnection("Data Source=ourserver;UserID=uid;Password=pwd;Initial Catalog=" + dbname + ";NetworkLibrary=DBMSSOCN;");tmpcmd = new SqlCommand("sp_changedbowner'HolderUserDoNotDelete'",tmpCon);tmpCon.Open();tmpcmd.ExecuteNonQuery();tmpcmd.CommandText = "sp_changedbowner '" + username + "'";tmpcmd.ExecuteNonQuery();tmpcmd.Dispose(); tmpcmd = null;tmpCon.Close(); tmpCon.Dispose(); tmpCon = null;

that sounds obvious but I'm stuck...
I have an ASP.net application which someone else started and I continue.
on the SQL server there was a user X which was used to access the database from the ASP website.
I accidently changed the password in the SQL server and now I cant restore the prior settings
(trying to reset password to blank or embedding the username and password in the connection string didnt work).
it stops on "connection.open" with - "SQLException Login failed for user 'X'"
any ideas why that happens and how I can fix it?
thanks

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 are re-writing our site in asp.net using sql server. Most of the site uses asp classic and it was to an access database. During the conversion we have everything working correct to SQL Server except for the asp.net connection string. There is an important part of the application using asp.net which works fine with our connection string to the access database. To recap our problem is the connection string from asp.net to sql server. This code works fine for the asp.net to access in the web.cnfg file </microsoft.web> <connectionStrings> <add name="SalesConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=E:inetpubvhosts hemarketingvp.comsubdomainsvphttpdocsfpdbsalesMain.mdb" providerName="System.Data.OleDb"/> <add name="ODBCSalesConnectionString" connectionString="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=URL=E:inetpubvhosts hemarketingvp.comsubdomainsvphttpdocsfpdbsalesMain.mdb"/> <add name="RawConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=E:inetpubvhosts hemarketingvp.comsubdomainsvphttpdocsfpdbsalesMain.mdb" providerName="System.Data.OleDb"/> <add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|inventoryStatus.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings> <system.web> The code in the global.asa which works fine for classic asp to sql server also works fine and is as follows '--Project Data Connection Application("sales_ConnectionString") = "Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=DMSERVER01;Database=SQLsalesMain;UID=nTrack;PWD=nTrack2k3" Application("sales_ConnectionTimeout") = 15 Application("sales_CommandTimeout") = 30 Application("sales_CursorLocation") = 3 Application("sales_RuntimeUserName") = "" Application("sales_RuntimePassword") = "" Our programmer who set this up is out for a couple of weeks and I would appreciate any help in the correct connection string from asp.net to the sql server database in the web.cnfg file Thanks

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

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.

Im having trouble changing the DB owner from Kate to Bob, because Kate owns some objects in the DB.
I first try to run sp_changedbowner Bob....but it tells me:
The proposed new database owner is already a user in the database.
When I run scripts on a table that such as;
sp_changeobjectowner 'customers', 'Bob'...I get the message of
Server: Msg 15001, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_changeobjectowner, Line 38
Object 'customers' does not exist or is not a valid object for this operation.
Please help with what I can do.

I remember I asked the similar question before.But I have not solve this.
I am working with SQL Server 2005. I just make a copy of the production database.
I use "tasks -> Generate Script" to copy the table structure and use "tasks -> import Data" to copy Data. But I can not copy the database diagrams,I need to keep the primary keys - foreign keys relations.
Please let me know how to copy database diagrams.I try many ways but I can not figure it out.
Thanks for your help

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,

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.)

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.
