up vote 25 down vote favorite 2 I am trying to give all the permissions to a user in the User Mapping section of a database.

I just updated our Dev SQL 2005dbto be able to use new 2005 key words with the script: EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'myDbName' , 90 This is all well and good until I notice mysa account no longer has a user mapping to my database.In managment studio when I go to Security - Logins - andsa properties If I try to add cannot use the user sa to my Db I get the following errors: >>>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>> Create failed for User 'sa'.
