REASSIGN OWNED(7) PostgreSQL 9.6.6 Documentation REASSIGN OWNED(7)
NAME
REASSIGN_OWNED - change the ownership of database objects owned by a
database role
SYNOPSIS
REASSIGN OWNED BY { old_role | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER } [, ...]
TO { new_role | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }
DESCRIPTION
REASSIGN OWNED instructs the system to change the ownership of database
objects owned by any 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 simply
drops all the database objects owned by one or more roles.
The REASSIGN OWNED command does not affect any privileges granted to
the old_roles for objects that are not owned by them. Use DROP OWNED to
revoke such privileges.
See Section 21.4, "Dropping Roles", in the documentation for more
discussion.
COMPATIBILITY
The REASSIGN OWNED command is a PostgreSQL extension.
