DROP OWNED BY { <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER } [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.122.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
   <code class="command">DROP OWNED</code> 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 or on shared objects (databases, tablespaces, configuration
   parameters) will also be revoked.

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

      Automatically drop objects that depend on the affected objects,
      and in turn all objects that depend on those objects
      (see <a class="xref" href="ddl-depend.html" title="5.14. Dependency Tracking">Section 5.14</a>).
     </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">RESTRICT</code></span></dt><dd><p>
      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.
     </p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.122.7"><h2>Notes</h2><p>
   <code class="command">DROP OWNED</code> is often used to prepare for the
   removal of one or more roles. Because <code class="command">DROP OWNED</code>
   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.
  </p><p>
   Using the <code class="literal">CASCADE</code> option might make the command
   recurse to objects owned by other users.
  </p><p>
   The <a class="link" href="sql-reassign-owned.html" title="REASSIGN OWNED"><code class="command">REASSIGN OWNED</code></a> command is an alternative that
   reassigns the ownership of all the database objects owned by one or
   more roles.  However, <code class="command">REASSIGN OWNED</code> does not deal with
   privileges for other objects.
  </p><p>
   Databases and tablespaces owned by the role(s) will not be removed.
  </p><p>
   See <a class="xref" href="role-removal.html" title="22.4. Dropping Roles">Section 22.4</a> for more discussion.
  </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.122.8"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
   The <code class="command">DROP OWNED</code> command is a
   <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> extension.
