View 1 RepliesI 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.
For 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.
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?

Thank you
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?

Hi,
I have an ASPNETDB.MDF (asp.net membership/profile db) that was generated for SQL Express, it has user information I need to keep.
I have SQLExpress and full SQL Server 2005 running on the server. I want to remove SQL Express from the server.
So can I simply do a backup of the SQL Express membership db and restore it to full SQL and change the connection string in my app or
do i need to run the membership wizard on full sql and then do the backup / restore?
Or is there another way.
Thanks
Please could someone help?
I'm about to launch a website however I'm having trouble moving my SQL 2005 database from my development server (developer edition) to my web host server.
I'd like to do a backup/restore but I don't seem to have permission to do that - restricted to their directory for restore.
So I have done this in management studio:
1. Tasks -> Generate Scripts, Script all objects. On the development database.
2. Needed to remove the following lines since it errored otherwise when executing the script!
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals WHERE name = N'adaspnet')
CREATE USER [adaspnet] FOR LOGIN [PIRATEASPNET] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
3. Create new SQL 2005 database on host and ran the script.
4. Tasks -> Import Data. On the live database. It keeps crashing with "there is already an object named vw_aspnet_Applications" etc. I have got it to work by excluding all the vw_ entries from the import. It now works!!!
The question is this: Is what i've done ok? Is there a cleaner and better way etc?
I've only just started learning SQL server and therefore I'm a complete novice so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
When i try to use the Microsoft OLE-DB Drive for oracle in import/Export Wizard, it gives me message that Oracle networking driver is missing. Contact Oracle for this information.
Any idea to further move on this. I am wondering, why SQL Server 2005 does not have that driver.
Thanks,
I have SQL server 2005 on a Windows 2003 machine. The machine is old and I need to move the entire SQL server to a new machine. There are many databases and users that need to move across to the new server. Detaching and attaching the databases would be tedious due to the large number of databases. Is there a way of moving the DB's and SQL users to the new machine without having to do each db one at a time?
Additional info that might be helpful:
The new server's IP address and name must also change to that of the old server.
The old server initially had SQL 2000 on it and was upgraded to SQL 2005.
The new server was installed with SQL 2005 only. Hence the Database and log paths differ between the old and new server.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys,
I have tried to use the sp_help_revlogin script to move logins from a sql 2000 server to a sql 2005 server. It works for users that have a password. But if the password is blank it will fail. Is there a work around for this since I can't change the users passwords?
I have also tried SSIS package but that too doesn't work because of the same reason.
Can anyone help...
We have a new database server for SQL Server 2005. To use our old VS 2005 websites, which were connected toanother database server with SQL Server 2000, what should I do? Just change the server name of the connection stringin the Source code and/or Web.config? My preliminary testing seemed to be not effective.TIA,Jeffrey

HI,
I have problems with executing packages in the SQL Server 2005 and before I go into the details I would like to check, if my workflow is correct.
Can someone explain me the best way to move a package from BIDS to a SQL Server? I would like to store the packages in the SQL Server.
In addition if I login to Integration Services with SQL Server Management Studio I can see in the folder "stored packages" my package but I cannot view the folder "MSDB". Ususally I receive an error message from the named pipe provider, that I could not connect to the server (I am using Windows Authentication and my login is an administrator on the SLQ Server box)
Thanks in advvance

Hi,
We have an old machine which holds SQL server 2000 database. We need to migrate a whole database to a new machine which has SQL server 2005.
When we tried to move whole database using Import and Export Wizard, only tables can be selected to import/export. However we want to import/export the whole database, including tables, stored procedure, view, etc. Which tool should we use?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have an existing sql server 2000 installation on one server. I now need to take one 2000 DB and restore it to a new sql server 2005 installation (on a different server).
What is the best way to do this. I can not upgrade the sql server 2000 installation to 2005. Basically i hoping all i need to do is backup the 2000 db and then restore it on the new sql 2005 server.
Is this possible...thanks for all help.
