I definitely have a preference to have my own database for the purpose of development so I can change the structure, data and such as I need. It is kind of a necessity for developing a good suite of functional tests. All too often I have seen companies share a development database and that is a really bad sign for testability and generally stepping on each other. So if that is managed elsewhere but I can do all I need that is fine, if not then I tend to host a database locally for this purpose.

That's definitely true. For development purpose I also prefer a local database that is only mine, but for production, staging, ... I don't want even to have access. Because in many companies, "you touch it, you own it" rule exists.
