The database owner SID recorded in the master database differs from the database owner SID
When I try to install tSQLt onto an existing database i get the following error:
The database owner SID recorded in the master database differs from the database owner SID recorded in database ''. You should correct this situation by resetting the owner of database '' using the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement.
Solution 1:
This problem can arise when a database restored from a backup and the SID of the database owner does not match the owners SID listed in the master database. Here is a solution that uses the "ALTER AUTHORIZATION" statement recommended in the error message:
DECLARE @Command VARCHAR(MAX) = 'ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::[<<DatabaseName>>] TO
[<<LoginName>>]'
SELECT @Command = REPLACE(REPLACE(@Command
, '<<DatabaseName>>', SD.Name)
, '<<LoginName>>', SL.Name)
FROM master..sysdatabases SD
JOIN master..syslogins SL ON SD.SID = SL.SID
WHERE SD.Name = DB_NAME()
PRINT @Command
EXEC(@Command)
Solution 2:
Added this to the top of the tSQLt.class.sql script
declare @user varchar(50)
SELECT @user = quotename(SL.Name)
FROM master..sysdatabases SD inner join master..syslogins SL
on SD.SID = SL.SID
Where SD.Name = DB_NAME()
exec('exec sp_changedbowner ' + @user)
Solution 3:
Apply the below script on database you get the error:
EXEC sp_changedbowner 'sa'
ALTER DATABASE [database_name] SET TRUSTWORTHY ON
