Who needs to do what with the database? The owner should be the user that
needs the permissions that come with being the owner. (Or the owner should
be a specific account set up just to be the owner, and the others should
only have the permissions they need.)
From just the names, I'd suggest if you are picking one of the two, to have
boris_developer be the owner, as php_script sounds like a web interface,
and it's usually best not to give web interfaces any permission they don't
absolutely *need*.
