DB owner, does it matter who it is?

  • Does it matter if sa, Domain/administrator or a different login (that an application will use) is set to db owner?

  • If you don't mind the id having owner permissions on that database, I don't think it makes any difference.

     

  • An user with dbo rights on the database can perform any changes to the database you have to decide it on whether or not to give the permission for a user since that is a high level privilege within that database.

  • I've always made it a practice to have the dbo set to SA, but for the most part it doesn't matter, as long as you're ok with whoever the owner is.
