DROP OWNED — remove database objects owned by a database role
DROP OWNED BY name
[, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
DROP OWNED
drops all the objects in 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 will also be revoked.
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.
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 may make the command
recurse to objects owned by other users.
The REASSIGN OWNED command is an alternative that reassigns the ownership of all the database objects owned by one or more roles.
