Hi There,
Is it possible to change ownership of a database to a group rather than an individual? The reason I ask is that i'm due to leave my employment this week and need to generally get things ship shape before I go. I currently own all the DBs that we use and I need to change that so people can take care of them (or wreck them depending on who it is!). I have set up user groups, one of which is "developer" and I would like this group to own the DBs so that they can be passed on without too much fuss.
If not then I need to change the owner to an individual and am really not relishing the prospect of importing all the objects into a new database just to do that, the thing is huge, has loads of fairly intricate permissions which have been carefully honed over the last couple of years. I read somewhere that you can change the DB owner if you exclusively open it but I have tried that and the "Change Owner" button is still greyed out.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Tom
