SQL 2000 - Change table ownership using Enterprise Manager
Man, today I looked everywhere on the world wide web to find a simple "how-to" to change table ownership with Enterprise Manager and found ziltch!!! Oh yes, I found all kinds of fancy stored procedures but again Microsoft's intuative approach, or lack there of, to simplify things left me with nothing. I had to ask a fellow developer how to do it and this is how without using a stored procedure.
1. Open up Enterprise Manager.
2. Open up the database and get a list of tables. In the list, you should see NAME, OWNER, TYPE, CREATE DATE. The owner by default when a table is created is dbo unless you login as that user.
3. Right click on the table you want to change the owner of and click design table. (Not properties)
4. Another tool bar will show at the top, right below the list of menus. Click Table and Index Properties (A Square White Box).
5. This is where you can change the ownership (provided you have other users).
Please note: This is different from permissions.
