Обсуждение: Changing ownership of objects

Friends,
    When I was young and foolish and setting up my DB initially I ended up with
the objects in my DB owned by random users.  I'd like to write a script to
change the user for all objects to be the same, but I don't see any way to
change the ownership of sequences.  Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter Darley

ALTER TABLE OWNER should work on sequences (also indexes and views).
At least in 7.2 or later (didn't look at earlier versions).  You could
also just poke pg_class.relowner ;-)

I can't answer your question with code but you should be able to alter the
system classes. Other tables will link their owner id (and integer) to
pg_users.usesysid. Just alter which user the object point to and viola!
reassignment.

If you are using some sh descendant somthing like:

for x in `psql -c '\dts' mydb -tA | cut -d\| -f1`; do
  psql -c "ALTER TABLE $x OWNER TO newowner;" mydb
done

should do the work.
