Hi,

Is it important to have database owner as sa?
What if there is owner database as domain administrator - can it couse some troueble or unwanted troubles in future?

Thanks for any suggestions

Problem with a domain account is if it is deleted.


==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

As a part of best practices you should not do that.A database owner should never have rights across the domain and that to admin rights on the domain.

If you have a large amount of databases, think about running a regular audit to check this value - and make appropriate changes
