error sql 2000

Server: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_helpdb,
Line 53
Cannot insert the value NULL into column '', table '';
column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.HI,
You might get this error if you have an invalid database owner. Execute the
below script to verify,
SELECT name, SUSER_SNAME(sid)
FROM master..sysdatabases
WHERE SUSER_SNAME(sid) IS NULL
Incase if you have any invalid users , execute sp_changedbowner (refer books
online) stored procedure.
Thanks

does it work if you explicitly set a database name that you have access to?

Error running sp_helpdb

When I run sp_helpdb against the master (or any other DB for that matter) I get the following error:

Server: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_helpdb, Line 53
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'owner', table 'tempdb.dbo.#spdbdesc_ 0010001A6EF'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.

I have about 20 DBs on a SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition Instance with sp3a .

There have been no changes made to the Server or the SQL Server Instance in quite some time. Can anyone tell me how I should proceed??I think spid is null in master.dbo.sysdatabases,
check that first.

select spid from master.dbo.sysdatabases
u can use sp, sp_changedbowner 'ownername' if it is null .

And check that link,it may help u.
http://dbforums.com/t554105.html|||I did check select * from master.dbo.sysdatabases and I don't see anything unusual. and thanks.. but that other post wasn't very helpful... : (

I did some poking around and noticed that when I look at the properties of my Model and msdb databases in Enterprise Manager, they BOTH have {unknown} for Owner !!?? that CAN'T be a good thing !!
I checked BOL for sp_changedbowner and it says that you can't change the owner on master, msdb and ,model - so I'm a little leary to try it... Anyone have an suggestions? ... please..

Can I use sp_changdbowner on model and msdb if they are already Null or as Enterprise Manager puts it... UNKNOWN ? ?|||Yes u cannot chage owner of master,msdb and model db,Onlyway is,


eg:this will will change model db owner to 'sa'
exec sp_configure 'allow updates', 1
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
go
update sysdatabases
set sid = 0x01
where name = 'model'
go
sp_configure 'allow updates', 0
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE|||Can I ask a dumb question??

How does that code change the owner? I see where it sets the SID. and, should the SID be set the same for model and msdb?|||0x01 is the sid of sa user,msdb,model db's owner should be under sa.

u can see that in,

select name, suser_sname(sid),sid
from master.dbo.sysdatabases|||Told you it was a dumb question. Thanks much!
