DROP OWNED

SQL - Language Statements
DROP OWNED
remove database objects owned by a database role
DROP OWNED
DROP OWNED BY name [, ...] [ 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 and 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.
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 command is an alternative that
reassigns the ownership of all the database objects owned by one or
more roles.
Databases and tablespaces owned by the role(s) will not be removed.
Compatibility
The DROP OWNED statement is a
PostgreSQL extension.
