Fixing orphaned database users

How to fix orphaned database users:

ALTER USER Username WITH LOGIN = LoginName

Commonly happens when you backup then restore a database to a different SQL server.  Any users in the database are orphaned even thought a matching login exists on the new server.  The problem is that the SID of the login and the database user does not match.  Alter User ... can fix this.
