Changing the Database Owner

In Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000, the owner of the current database can be changed. Any user (SQL Server login or Microsoft Windows NT® user) who has access to connect to SQL Server can become the owner of a database.

Ownership of the system databases (master, model, and tempdb) cannot be changed.
