hi
i created a database as an sa. then i created a login and a corresponding user for the created database. after i login as that simple user and create some tables i try to create a diagram. when clicking on the Database Diagrams node in Object Explorer, the following message pops up: "A member of the db_owner role must use the database diagramming functionality in order to setup the required database diagramming objects on the SQL Server". So how do i let a simple user create and use diagrams?
Thanks

problem solved:D
if anyone else has the same probl.. i logged in as an sa (i think it would suffice to log in as the db owner), created the required support objects for db diagramming, then logged in as the simple user.. and i was able to create a diagram

Yes, Database Diagram can only be created in databases that have a owner specified.
