Permissions lost after sql7 to sql2k

  • I used the Sql 2K Copy Database Wizard to upgrade a sql7 to sql 2k database. Seemed to worked fine with the data. Even got all the accounts transferred.

    Problem: it didn't get all the permissions right. For example, one account, originally a dbo of a database, transfeered over as a "normal" user account. This  caused the applicaiton accessing that database to fail (lack of permission).

    Any sure fire ideas how to get the permissions right correct on the new database?

    TIA,

    Bill

     

     

     

     

     

     

  • You can change the db owner if you need to. sp_changedbowner.

     

    I'd script out the permissions from the old db and this should run fine on the new db. The scripting for this hasn't changed.

  • Steve,

    "I'd script out the permissions from the old db" ....

    How would you do this?
