Not Able To Create A DB Diagram In SQL Server 2005. No Menu Option For Creating A DB Diagram??
Apr 23, 2007
I have created a database with several tables. I want to create a database diagram to show the relationship
between 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 diagram
In 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.

i get 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 am the db owner but still wouldnt let me install and create diagrams.
help!
cheers

Hi,I have to prepare an ER diagram for the objects in my SQL Serverdatabase. I have used the option "DIAGRAMS" in EnterPrise Manager ofSQL Server 2000. It is creating the diagram for the selected tables(but the diagram contains only the table which i have selected. It isnot displaying its depended tables). But i am not able to export it toany of the flat file like MS WORD or paint. I want this diagram to beuploaded to one Flat file and send to my customer for his reference.Could anyone suggest me how to create the ER Diagram for the SQL 2000database and export it to a flat file.Thanks for your help in advance.-Rao

Hi,
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and i guess the sql server comes with it is the 2005 express version. So, my problem is: when i try to create a new database diagram on a new .mdf database, i get the error "Invalid String Class".
I believe this has something to do with some unregistered dlls, but i dont know how to solve...
Any help?

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?

When trying to create a DB diagram on my local SQL Server 2005 db, I get the following error:
cannot insert the value null into column "diagram_id"
I have searched the web and can't seem to find anything on this.
I just simply drag one table from my local db onto the diagram windows and try to Save it and that's what I get. I'm able to save diagrams on a networked SQL Server.
Does anybody know how I can resolve this issue?

Hi,
I€™m trying to create a DB for my course at Uni and as far as I€™m aware to create a DB on my desktop at home I need to use CE.
So I created a new DB in CE and then created some tables and I now want to create a relationship diagram but there isn€™t an option to do it. In the toolbar the relationship icon is permanently greyed out and unusable and there isn€™t a node in object explorer.
Can this be done and am I just missing something obvious? I€™m running it on Vista and I have installed the latest SP, could that cause any problems?
Im going crazy and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ricky

First of all, I want to say that there is no problem if I create DB in standard way, namely, when I create DB and then create some tables and so on.
But, when I made restore from SQL Server 2000 backed up file I get next 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 AUTORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects."
May someone excplain what exactly I have to do?
1. This particular user has admin permissions of this DB.
2. What does it mean "add the database digram support objects"?

I've been tasked to create a database diagram, save it and send that db diagram to the user. Now, I am confused as I don't know where sql server stores the db diagram...what is the path where it stores the diagram. How do I export it in case if I need to provide it to the user. How, am I supposed to grant user permission so he himself can create a database diagram.

How can I create a one-to-one relationship in a SQL Server Management Studio Express Relationship diagram?
For example:
I have 2 tables, tbl1 and tbl2.
tbl1 has the following columns:
id {uniqueidentifier} as PK
name {nvarchar(50)}
tbl2 has the following columns:
id {uniqueidentifier} as PK
name {nvarchar(50)}
tbl1_id {uniqueidentifier} as FK linked to tbl1.id
If I drag and drop the tbl1.id column to tbl2 I end up with a one-to-many relationship. How do I create a one-to-one relationship instead?

Hi all,
I´m a real SQL rookie and after two days of intensive research and reading of dozens of articles and web pages a bit confused about all that knowledge concerning database technology ... and I only want to do something very easy ...
Now, my question is, how can I produce a diagram from that data, that is stored in a table, maybe called "DiagData1"?
I have installed SQL Server Express 2005 and Visual Basic Express 2005 and did some first steps with it as where shown in an brilliant tutorial that I´ve found on a Microsoft (?) webpage. It shows the complete way building a database and connecting it to a form which was build with Visual Basic. So all what is left is find out how the database tables are connected to a diagram.
thanks´n greets,
VBFan
