Synopsis
REASSIGN OWNED BY <old_role> [, ...] TO <new_role>
Description
REASSIGN OWNED
reassigns all the objects in the current database that are owned by <old_role> to <new_role>. Note that it does not change the ownership of the database itself.
Parameters
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 database that contains objects owned by a role that is to be removed.
The DROP OWNED
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.
Examples
Reassign any database objects owned by the role named sally
and bob
to admin
;
REASSIGN OWNED BY sally, bob TO admin;
Compatibility
The REASSIGN OWNED
statement is a HAWQ extension.
