There is more than one solution to this issue. Here will be explained the two most common.

RESOLUTION 1

SELECT @Command = REPLACE(REPLACE(@Command, '>', SD.Name), '>', SL.Name)
FROM master..sysdatabases SD
JOIN master..syslogins SL ON SD.SID = SL.SID
WHERE SD.Name = DB_NAME()

PRINT @Command

EXEC (@Command)

After this, the tSQLt framework should be installed in the chosen database without any issue.

The second solution has two steps. The first step is to map the specific user to the master database in SQL Server Management Studio.

The second and final step of this solution is to run the following script:

EXEC sp_changedbowner ''

After applying either of the above-listed solutions, the tSQLt framework installation on the chosen database will result in this message:
