Обсуждение: Changing a database owner on postgres 7.3
Hi all,
I'm trying to tweak a schema creation script that works on postgres 8.x so that it will run on postgres 7.3.
I've run into trouble attempting to change the owner of a particular database. The offending line is -
ALTER DATABASE test OWNER TO epg;
As I say, this works fine on postgres 8 but fails with the message "ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "OWNER" at character 87" on postgres 7.3."
Can someone suggest an alternative way of changing the owner of a database for 7.3?
Cheers,
Richard.

AFAIR there is no quick-and-easy way to do that for 7.3. I'd create a new database with a new username, and I'd use the old database as the template: CREATE DATABASE newdb WITH OWNER newuser TEMPLATE olddb; could work for you.

I expect you could do the following: update pg_database set datdba = (select usesysid from pg_shadow where usename = 'epg') where datname = 'test'; Behind the scenes, that's probably what "ALTER DATABASE test OWNER TO epg;" actually does. -- output = reverse("gro.mca" "@" "enworbbc") http://www.ntlug.org/~cbbrowne/emacs.html "Catapultam habeo!
