I really enjoyed this article and have shared it with my development team. The article brings to light some serious thought about ownership, which can be extremely important in the SQL world. That being said....

My 2 cents ....

Only production elements are owned by dbo. period! Development elements are owned by the developer working on the project. No one is allowed permission to grant dbo ownership except me which means nothing gets to production until it passes my inspection. I've only been working this way for a couple of years now and you wouldn't believe how much time this practice has saved me. I can now identify an offending developer in an instant, and, knowing this, developers are far more likely to have dotted their "I"s and crossed their "T"s before submitting the project for production.

Case sensitivity is always enabled. Maybe I've just been doing this too long and on too many different platforms, but I firmly believe that any project should - as best as is possible - meet the requirements of any platform that it may be ported to. I cringe at the thought of someone disabling case sensitivity on my SQL servers then having a customer come to me and say "That's exactly what I want to spend my $250,000 on, will it run on my existing ORACLE installation?" Not being Bill Gates, I'm gonna be pretty upset if I have to rewrite a bunch of sloppy code to make it happen.
