Installing and creating databases from an empty db created by the DBA

I'm not too sure on how to describe this, but I assume the developpers will know what is ment.

I've had a lengthy discussion (or actually I listened, they talked) with the SQL-people.
The complained about the VSA needing to have db-creator rights when installing EV, DA, etc.

They asked why Symantec is not following the MS-way, which seems to be to install an empty databases (done by the dba's) from which the rest is derived.

I believe this is what I understand they mean.

1/ database admin will create and empty database (no tables in it)
2/ EV-installer will connect to this empty database and create needed tables in it
3/ EV-installer creates other db's

They claim this is the MS way of doing it, actually they say: a well written installer for a product using sql should do this.

Could this be looked into? I am sure more dba's would be happy. I'm lucky to be able to convince them they will be shot if they do not let me use EV to create db's....

Thanks
