We have a website running off a DotNetNuke CMS.
We have recently upgraded our database from SQL2000 to SQL2005.
In our initial install (a few yrs ago) we used a databaseOwner and schema by the same name - called 'nigel'.
Due to previous failed upgrade attempts of the CMS I have changed the schema name from 'nigel' back to 'dbo'. (also created missing stored procedures, views and tables using dbo).
However, there is still one thing which I can't change from 'nigel' to 'dbo' - and that is the databaseOwner specified in our web.config file - if I chage this to dbo - our site goes down (error msg saying 'site is currently unavailable...').
I am wondering if this could be at the heart of our upgrade problems?
Because we are getting upgrade errors like this:
"system.data.sqlclient.sqlexception : cannot find the object 'upgrade Default Language' because it does not exist or you do not have permission..."
In SQL, I have dbo listed under security >> users > with db_owner checked.
I am changing to dbo from our own default schema and owner name becasue i read this somewhere:
if you have ‘dbo’ as the database owner, you’ve probably got no problems. But if you have a value like databaseOwner="YOUR_OWN_NAME” then you probably have a problem. This is because each of the above scripts does not specify the ‘owner’ or ‘schema’ of the database object.
thanks,
