PostgreSQL – How to Change the Owner of a Schema
You can change the owner of a schema in PostgreSQL database using the ALTER SCHEMA
statement with the OWNER TO
clause. Below is the syntax:
ALTER SCHEMA schema_name OWNER TO new_owner;
where schema_name
is the name of the schema for which you want to change the owner, and new_owner
is the name of the new owner you want to assign to the schema. After executing the statement, the ownership of the schema will be changed to the new owner specified.
Please note the following considerations when changing the owner of a schema:
- You must have appropriate permissions to execute the
ALTER SCHEMA
statement with theOWNER TO
clause. - Changing the owner of a schema does not affect the ownership of objects within the schema, such as tables, views, or functions. You may need to change the ownership of individual objects within the schema separately if necessary.
- Be cautious when changing schema ownership in a production database, as it can impact the access and management of schema objects. Ensure that the new owner has the necessary privileges and understands their responsibilities.
- Make sure to update any application configurations or scripts that reference the schema owner after changing it.
