NAME

       REASSIGN_OWNED - change the ownership of database objects owned by a database role

SYNOPSIS

       REASSIGN OWNED BY old_role [, ...] TO new_role

DESCRIPTION

           Note

           The following description applies both to Postgres-XC and PostgreSQL if not described explicitly.

       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 current 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

           Note

           The following description applies both to Postgres-XC and PostgreSQL if not described explicitly.

       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
       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.

       The REASSIGN OWNED command does not affect the ownership of any databases owned by the role. Use ALTER
       DATABASE (ALTER_DATABASE(7)) to reassign that ownership.

COMPATIBILITY

           Note

           The following description applies both to Postgres-XC and PostgreSQL if not described explicitly.

       The REASSIGN OWNED statement is a Postgres-XC extension inherited from PostgreSQL.
