DROP 
OWNED(7)						  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation					     DROP OWNED(7)

NAME
       DROP_OWNED - remove database objects owned by a database role

SYNOPSIS
       DROP OWNED BY name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION
       DROP OWNED drops all the objects within the current database that are owned by one of the specified roles. Any privileges granted to the
       given roles on objects in the current database and on shared objects (databases, tablespaces) will also be revoked.

PARAMETERS
       name
	   The name of a role whose objects will be dropped, and whose privileges will be revoked.

       CASCADE
	   Automatically drop objects that depend on the affected objects.

       RESTRICT
	   Refuse to drop the objects owned by a role if any other database objects depend on one of the affected objects. This is the default.

NOTES
       DROP OWNED is often used to prepare for the removal of one or more roles. Because DROP 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.

       Using the CASCADE option might make the command recurse to objects owned by other users.

       The REASSIGN OWNED (REASSIGN_OWNED(7)) command is an alternative that reassigns the ownership of all the database objects owned by one or
       more roles.

       Databases and tablespaces owned by the role(s) will not be removed.

COMPATIBILITY
       The DROP OWNED statement is a PostgreSQL extension.
