DROP OWNED(7) PostgreSQL 12.3 Documentation DROP OWNED(7)
NAME
DROP_OWNED - remove database objects owned by a database role
SYNOPSIS
DROP OWNED BY { name | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER } [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
DESCRIPTION
DROP OWNED 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) will also be revoked.
PARAMETERS
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, and in turn all
objects that depend on those objects (see Section 5.14).
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.
NOTES
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 might make the command recurse to objects owned by other users.
The REASSIGN OWNED (REASSIGN_OWNED(7)) command is an alternative that reassigns the
ownership of all the database objects owned by one or more roles. However, REASSIGN OWNED
does not deal with privileges for other objects.
Databases and tablespaces owned by the role(s) will not be removed.
See Section 21.4 for more discussion.
COMPATIBILITY
The DROP OWNED command is a PostgreSQL extension.
