Error: 'Pharos is not the database owner' during an upgrade of the Pharos Database.

Problem:

When running an upgrade of the Pharos Database the following error appeared after starting the upgrade process “Pharos is not the database owner”. The SQL login 'pharos' is the db_owner.Inside the pharos database, the objects are owned by a user role other than db_owner. For our upgrade scripts to work the objects must all be owned by the user role db_owner, and this role should be assigned to the SQL login 'pharos'.

Resolution:

The following SQL query will update the user role ownership of the objects in the Pharos Database. Steps on setting the SQL login as db_owner can be found in a separate FAQ.

USE master

EXEC sp_configure N'allow updates', '1'

RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE

USE pharos

update sysobjects set uid = 1

USE master

EXEC sp_configure N'allow updates', '0'

RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
