Sigh. The new company policy is that developers can neither have the password for schemas nor have CREATE ANY xxx on development databases. The only remaining option I see (other than having developers call me every 2 minutes to keep putting new iterations of code into dev) is to write a package with procedures to create various types of objects which will be owned by the schema and grant execute on it. I thought it was worth asking if anyone knows of an already existing version of such a script. I also considered telling the manager who set the policy that he has to write the script himself but decided that wasn't advisable :). TIA, Jay
