BUG: SEM Does Not Allow User of Database That is DBO Use OnlyLast reviewed: May 2, 1997Article ID: Q148876 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSIf there is a user in several databases and one of the database is marked as dbo use only, then SQL Enterprise Manager (SEM) does not allow the user to use the server at all. SEM generates the following error while trying to register the server under the user's name:
Unable to Connect to Server [reason: User %d not allowed in database '%.*s' - only the owner of this database can access it]. Modify anyway?If you select Yes to register the server anyway, any attempt to use the server results in following error:
A connection could not be established to %s, User %d not allowed in database '%.*s' - only the owner of this database can access it. WORKAROUNDIf you are making a database (say database 'db1') 'dbo use only' and want to register the server under a user ('usr1') who is a user in 'db1' as well as in other databases, remove 'usr1' from 'db1'.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
