REASSIGN OWNED(7) PostgreSQL 9.3.2 Documentation REASSIGN OWNED(7)NAMEREASSIGN_OWNED - change the ownership of database objects owned by a
database role
SYNOPSIS
REASSIGN OWNED BY old_role [, ...] TO new_role
DESCRIPTION
REASSIGN OWNED instructs the system to change the ownership of database
objects owned by one of the old_roles, to new_role.
PARAMETERS
old_role
The name of a role. The ownership of all the objects within the
current database, and of all shared objects (databases,
tablespaces), owned by this role will be reassigned to new_role.
new_role
The name of the role that will be made the new owner of the
affected objects.
NOTES
REASSIGN OWNED is often used to prepare for the removal of one or more
roles. Because REASSIGN OWNED does not affect objects within other
databases, it is usually necessary to execute this command in each
database that contains objects owned by a role that is to be removed.
REASSIGN OWNED requires privileges on both the source role(s) and the
target role.
The DROP OWNED (DROP_OWNED(7)) command is an alternative that drops all
the database objects owned by one or more roles. Note also that DROP
OWNED requires privileges only on the source role(s).
The REASSIGN OWNED command does not affect the privileges granted to
the old_roles in objects that are not owned by them. Use DROP OWNED to
revoke those privileges.
COMPATIBILITY
The REASSIGN OWNED statement is a PostgreSQL extension.
