<command>DROP OWNED</command> is often used to prepare for the
|
|
|
|
removal of one or more roles. Because <command>DROP OWNED</command>
|
|
|
|
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.

Update reference documentation on may/can/might:
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:
may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."
can - ability, "I can lift that log."
might - possibility, "It might rain today."
Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Using the <literal>CASCADE</literal> option might make the command
|
2006-04-02 06:02:40 +02:00
|
|
|
recurse to objects owned by other users.

The <xref linkend="sql-reassign-owned"> command is an alternative that
|
2006-04-02 06:02:40 +02:00
|
|
|
reassigns the ownership of all the database objects owned by one or
|
2015-10-07 22:12:05 +02:00
|
|
|
more roles. However, <command>REASSIGN OWNED</> does not deal with

|
privileges for other objects.
