    There is no way of doing this. (Apart from running a job in the background
    to keep changing the ownership of new files, or something like that.)

    I'd go back a couple of steps: find out what the DBA actually requires
    rather than try to implement his "solution". When people find that things
    don't work, it's usually because they should have been doing something
    different in the first place.
