I have sysadmin privileges on a SQL Server 2008 R2 server. I'm working with the development database and want to save a database diagram I created. When I try to save I get the following error message:

===================================

String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated. The 'sp_creatediagram' procedure attempted to return a status of NULL, which is not >allowed. A status of 0 will be returned instead. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

Program Location:

at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.DataTools.Interop.IDTDocTool.Save(Object dsRef, String path, Boolean okToOverwrite) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.VSIntegration.Editors.DatabaseDesignerNode.Save(VSSAVEFLAGS dwSave, String strSilentSaveAsName, IVsUIShell pIVsUIShell, IntPtr punkDocDataIntPtr, String& strMkDocumentNew, Int32& pfCanceled)

I don't want to alter the database at all. My goal is the save the diagram to references key relationships and other information in the future. Does anyone know how I can enable saving the database diagram this way?
