NAME

6       DROP_OWNED - remove database objects owned by a database role
7

SYNOPSIS

9       DROP OWNED BY { name | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER } [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       DROP OWNED drops all the objects within the current database that are
13       owned by one of the specified roles. Any privileges granted to the
14       given roles on objects in the current database or on shared objects
15       (databases, tablespaces, configuration parameters) will also be
16       revoked.
17

PARAMETERS

19       name
20           The name of a role whose objects will be dropped, and whose
21           privileges will be revoked.
22
23       CASCADE
24           Automatically drop objects that depend on the affected objects, and
25           in turn all objects that depend on those objects (see
26           Section 5.14).
27
28       RESTRICT
29           Refuse to drop the objects owned by a role if any other database
30           objects depend on one of the affected objects. This is the default.
31

NOTES

33       DROP OWNED is often used to prepare for the removal of one or more
34       roles. Because DROP OWNED only affects the objects in the current
35       database, it is usually necessary to execute this command in each
36       database that contains objects owned by a role that is to be removed.
37
38       Using the CASCADE option might make the command recurse to objects
39       owned by other users.
40
41       The REASSIGN OWNED command is an alternative that reassigns the
42       ownership of all the database objects owned by one or more roles.
43       However, REASSIGN OWNED does not deal with privileges for other
44       objects.
45
46       Databases and tablespaces owned by the role(s) will not be removed.
47
48       See Section 22.4 for more discussion.
