REASSIGN OWNED(7) PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation REASSIGN OWNED(7)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 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
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
The REASSIGN OWNED statement is a PostgreSQL extension.

DROP ROLE(7) SQL Commands DROP ROLE(7)NAME
DROP ROLE - remove a database role
SYNOPSIS
DROP ROLE [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...]
DESCRIPTION
DROP ROLE removes the specified role(s). To drop a superuser role, you must be a superuser yourself; to drop non-superuser roles, you must
have CREATEROLE privilege.
A role cannot be removed if it is still referenced in any database of the cluster; an error will be raised if so. Before dropping the role,
you must drop all the objects it owns (or reassign their ownership) and revoke any privileges the role has been granted. The REASSIGN OWNED
[reassign_owned(7)] and DROP OWNED [drop_owned(7)] commands can be useful for this purpose.
However, it is not necessary to remove role memberships involving the role; DROP ROLE automatically revokes any memberships of the target
role in other roles, and of other roles in the target role. The other roles are not dropped nor otherwise affected.
PARAMETERS
IF EXISTS
Do not throw an error if the role does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.
name The name of the role to remove.
NOTES
PostgreSQL includes a program dropuser [dropuser(1)] that has the same functionality as this command (in fact, it calls this command) but
can be run from the command shell.
EXAMPLES
To drop a role:
DROP ROLE jonathan;
COMPATIBILITY
The SQL standard defines DROP ROLE, but it allows only one role to be dropped at a time, and it specifies different privilege requirements
than PostgreSQL uses.
SEE ALSO
CREATE ROLE [create_role(7)], ALTER ROLE [alter_role(7)], SET ROLE [set_role(7)]
