+.SH "NAME"
+REASSIGN_OWNED \- change the ownership of database objects owned by a database role
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+.nf
+REASSIGN OWNED BY { \fIold_role\fR | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER } [, \&.\&.\&.]
+ TO { \fInew_role\fR | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }
+.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 within the current database, and of all shared objects (databases, tablespaces), 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
+does not affect objects within other databases, 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 membership on both the source role(s) and the target role\&.
+.PP
+The
+\fBDROP OWNED\fR
+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
+on objects that are not owned by them\&. Likewise, it does not affect default privileges created with
+\fBALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES\fR\&. Use
+\fBDROP OWNED\fR
+to revoke such privileges\&.
+.PP
+See
+Section\ \&22.4
+for more discussion\&.
+.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))
