moving database in sql (question again)

[shaz jazz]

in reply of moving database in sql Colin Angus Mackay once wrote : Two ways I can think of. 1. Detach the database move the files and then attach at the other end. (You'll then have to wire up the logins again as the login ids will be different because they are stored in the master db) 2. Create a backup of the database, move the backup file to the new system, then restore the backup (you'll again have to wire up the logins to accounts for the same reasons given above). now i'm havg same problem(i'm using sql server 2005 express edition), i hav tried both ways but at second server when i click database diagrams then it gives masseage that no valid owner of this database exits so can't work with database diagrams, in database properties i tried to enter different owners but didn't worked so what should i do?? further more what does this mean "(You'll then have to wire up the logins again as the login ids will be different because they are stored in the master db)" i just cant get it? May God help u solv ur problems as well,thx in advance!!

I answered this question already here[^] If there is something you don't understand from that answer then what is it?

Repeating yourself won't help because from my point of view I've answered your question. I showed you how to "wire up the logins again" which would appear to be the source of your other problem. I assume you have sorted out the users on the moved database - What is your problem now?

You mean "to", "too" or "two"?

Are you really that lazy that you cannot type "at"? (It is the only word that fits, but it took me quite a few seconds to figure that out - Do you really expect a prompt reply when it takes people an unnecessary amount time to figure out what you are writing?!

"are" - You know how difficult it is to read this crap?!

I don't know - that depends on your database. If the user in the database has db_owner rights then the user will be the owner of the database, and that user must be associated to a login.

shaz jazz wrote:

there is no owner of this database

Find out which user or users are marked as the database owners (they have db_owner rights on the database, or sysadmin rights over the whole server) and apply them on your database at home.

I've never seen this error before, So I'm guessing that you have to use the same user as the owner as where the database was created. You need to use ensure that user has a valid login and that user is granted the db_owner rights on your server at home. As it is a lab experiment, you might want to elevate that to sysadmin rights (which will give that user the right to do anything on the server, not just the database).

Wait a moment: Are you moving a SQL Server 2000 database onto a SQL Server 2005 system? If so then the diagrams won't work - It is a known limitation, SQL Server 2005 does not read SQL Server 2000 diagrams and the tools for SQL Server 2005 won't create diagrams on a SQL Server 2000 database.

"(You'll then have to wire up the logins again as the login ids will be different because they are stored in the master db)" i just cant get it? " If you restore a db with its security context (It has users). You have to delete them from the db then add then again. If the users don't exist on the SQL box you have to create them.
