   <code class="command">REASSIGN OWNED</code> instructs the system to change
   the ownership of database objects owned by any of the

   <em class="replaceable"><code>new_role</code></em>.

      The name of a role. The ownership of all the objects within the

      The name of the role that will be made the new owner of the

   <code class="command">REASSIGN OWNED</code> is often used to prepare for the
   removal of one or more roles. Because <code class="command">REASSIGN
   OWNED</code> 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.
  </p><p>
   <code class="command">REASSIGN OWNED</code> requires membership on both the
   source role(s) and the target role.
  </p><p>
   The <a class="link" href="sql-drop-owned.html" title="DROP OWNED"><code class="command">DROP OWNED</code></a> command is an alternative that
   simply drops all the database objects owned by one or more roles.
  </p><p>
   The <code class="command">REASSIGN OWNED</code> command does not affect any
   privileges granted to
   the <em class="replaceable"><code>old_roles</code></em> on objects
   that are not owned by them.  Likewise, it does not affect default
   privileges created with <code class="command">ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES</code>.
   Use <code class="command">DROP OWNED</code> to revoke such privileges.
  </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-1.9.3.161.8"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
   The <code class="command">REASSIGN OWNED</code> command is a
   <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> extension.
