Hi,

In my SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager, I have created a new Login account
JJ.
I also created a new database DBJ.
What do I need to do to make JJ the owner of the DBJ?
Thanks for help.

You don't have to , unless you want JJ to be owner.

You can run sp_changedbowner to make JJ the owner of the database,
but most chances that there is no need to do that. You can just add
jj to db_owner role in the database and he'll have the same permission
as the database owner.
