.\" REASSIGN OWNED
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
REASSIGN OWNED BY \fIold_role\fR [, \&.\&.\&.] TO \fInew_role\fR
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBREASSIGN OWNED\fR
instructs the system to change the ownership of database objects owned by any of the
\fIold_roles\fR
to
\fInew_role\fR\&.
.SH "PARAMETERS"
.PP
\fIold_role\fR
.RS 4
The name of a role\&. The ownership of all the objects in the current database owned by this role will be reassigned to
\fInew_role\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fInew_role\fR
.RS 4
The name of the role that will be made the new owner of the affected objects\&.
.RE
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
\fBREASSIGN OWNED\fR
is often used to prepare for the removal of one or more roles\&. Because
\fBREASSIGN OWNED\fR
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\&.
.PP
\fBREASSIGN OWNED\fR
requires privileges on both the source role(s) and the target role\&.
.PP
The
DROP OWNED (\fBDROP_OWNED\fR(7))
command is an alternative that simply drops all the database objects owned by one or more roles\&.
.PP
The
\fBREASSIGN OWNED\fR
command does not affect any privileges granted to the
\fIold_roles\fR
for objects that are not owned by them\&. Use
\fBDROP OWNED\fR
to revoke such privileges\&.
.PP
See
Section 20.4, \(lqDropping Roles\(rq, in the documentation
for more discussion\&.
.PP
The
\fBREASSIGN OWNED\fR
command does not affect the ownership of any databases owned by the role\&. Use
ALTER DATABASE (\fBALTER_DATABASE\fR(7))
to reassign that ownership\&.
.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
.PP
The
\fBREASSIGN OWNED\fR
command is a
PostgreSQL
extension\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
DROP OWNED (\fBDROP_OWNED\fR(7)), DROP ROLE (\fBDROP_ROLE\fR(7)), ALTER DATABASE (\fBALTER_DATABASE\fR(7))
