group:Error msg Alter Authorization
sql server programming:
I copied a database from work and attached it on my home computer. When I tried to access the diagram I received the following message: 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. I tried using the Files page and couldn't see what they were referring to. I then tried an Alter Authorization statement as follows ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON MyDatabaseName TO Administrator; Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 Cannot find the object 'MyDatabaseName', because it does not exist or you do not have permission. Obviously, MyDatabaseName is the real DB name . . . What am I doing wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated! --

If this does not work, try being logged in as 'sa' when performing the same actions. Also, try transferring the contents of the dtproperties table. Hope this helps.

Hi EMartinez -
Thanks for replying! What do you mean by: try transferring the contents of the dtproperties table Can you outline the steps on how I would do that? -- Sandy [quoted text, click to view] "EMartinez" wrote:

Thanks for your reply, Dan.
I cut and pasted your suggestion, inserting the name of my database and received the following message: Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Line 4 Cannot find the principal 'Administrator', because it does not exist or you do not have permission. Any other suggestions? -- Sandy [quoted text, click to view] "Dan Guzman" wrote:

If you want to change database ownership to the local Windows Administrator account, try: ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::MyDatabaseName TO [MyServerName\Administrator]; -- Hope this helps.
