Re: Database Diagram leads to ownership issue.

sorry that I didn't bring this up on the orginal post. I guess i need a
way to find out the ownership of "everything" within the database, too.
Is there such a command?

Reason is because i am concern by changing the ownership of the database i
would impact others accessing the tables, views, and all objects in a
database...

If everything in the database is owned by dbo, then this is not an issue.

And if the owner of the objects is someone else, it still does not really
matter, since they are unaffected of the change of database owner. Save for
one case: you decide that the new database owner is a login that is already
a user in the database and own a lot of objects.

Is this SQL 2000 or SQL 2005?
