Database view not owned by dbo

  • Greetings, We are running SQLServer V5 on Windows 2000. In our database all views with the exception of one are owned by dbo. The one in question is owned by a user, not dbo, and is of type user as are most of the dbo owned views. When an attempt is made to update this view a permissions error is displayed. I am new to SQLServer and am looking for some suggestions as to how to track down the problem. Do I need to change the ownership to dbo and if so how do I do that? Thanks.

  • Greetings, I am logged on to the server, I bring up the query analyzer and execute the command exec sp_changeobjectowner 'view_name', 'dbo'; and receive the following message...

    Server: Msg 15001, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_changeobjectowner, Line 38

    Object 'vwReportCustom' does not exist or is not a valid object for this operation.

    I also tried it connecting as the sa user and still the message is the same. Assistance is appreciated. Thanks.

  • rather than..  exec sp_changeobjectowner 'view_name', 'dbo'

     

    try...  exec sp_changeobjectowner 'user.view_name', 'dbo'
