DESCRIPTION

15       REASSIGN OWNED instructs the system to  change  the  ownership  of  the
16       database objects owned by one of the old_roles, to new_role.
17

PARAMETERS

19       old_role
20              The name of a role. The ownership of all the objects in the cur‐
21              rent database owned by this role will be reassigned to new_role.
22
23       new_role
24              The name of the role that will be made  the  new  owner  of  the
25              affected objects.

NOTES

28       REASSIGN  OWNED is often used to prepare for the removal of one or more
29       roles. Because REASSIGN OWNED only affects the objects in  the  current
30       database, it is usually necessary to execute this command in each data‐
31       base that contains objects owned by a role that is to be removed.
32
33       The DROP OWNED [drop_owned(7)] command is an alternative that drops all
34       the database objects owned by one or more roles.
35
36       The  REASSIGN  OWNED  command does not affect the privileges granted to
37       the old_roles in objects that are not owned by them. Use DROP OWNED  to
38       revoke those privileges.
39

COMPATIBILITY

41       The REASSIGN OWNED statement is a PostgreSQL extension.
