| I am using the AdventureWorks2012 database in SQL Express on my PC.Under the AdventureWorks2012 folder, I expanded the folder called Database Diagrams and I received an error message:"Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database doesn't have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects."What does all this mean, and how do I get the Database Diagrams to appear so I can see how all the tables are interconnected? |

| Try doing what the error message is telling you. Go to the database properties and set an owner for the database. |
