Can anyone tell me the consequences of 'dbo' user not being associated with 'sa' login?
Does that mean you cannot perform certain database related tasks which only sysadmins (like sa) can perform?
DB maintenance backup plans work fine.
Thanks,
Sarat

sa gets permissions as part of the sysadmin group and can do anything on the server.
Your dbo user will be able to do anything to that database but may have problems outside it depending on which groups it is in.
e.g. may not be able to create new databases or perform security functions.

Look at the fixed server and database roles.
