REASSIGN OWNED() SQL Commands REASSIGN OWNED()
NAME
REASSIGN 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 the
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 in the cur-
rent database 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 only affects the objects in the current
database, it is usually necessary to execute this command in each data-
base that contains objects owned by a role that is to be removed.
The DROP OWNED [drop_owned(l)] command is an alternative that drops all
the database objects owned by one or more roles.
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.
