.RE
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
\fBDROP OWNED\fR
is often used to prepare for the removal of one or more roles\&. Because
\fBDROP OWNED\fR
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\&.
.PP
Using the
CASCADE
option might make the command recurse to objects owned by other users\&.
.PP
The
REASSIGN OWNED (\fBREASSIGN_OWNED\fR(7))
command is an alternative that reassigns the ownership of all the database objects owned by one or more roles\&. However,
\fBREASSIGN OWNED\fR
does not deal with privileges for other objects\&.
.PP
Databases and tablespaces owned by the role(s) will not be removed\&.
.PP
See
Section 20.4, \(lqDropping Roles\(rq, in the documentation
for more discussion\&.
.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
.PP
The
\fBDROP OWNED\fR
command is a
PostgreSQL
extension\&.
