## The solution
Here is the sequence of commande that will change the owner of all objects in a database from a user named "support" to another named "test-support":
```sql
2020-04-28 17:29:52 +02:00
ALTER DATABASE name OWNER TO new_owner
for tbl in `psql -qAt -c "select tablename from pg_tables where schemaname = 'public';" YOUR_DB` ; do psql -c "alter table $tbl owner to NEW_OWNER" YOUR_DB ; done
2020-04-28 17:29:52 +02:00
for tbl in `psql -qAt -c "select sequence_name from information_schema.sequences where sequence_schema = 'public';" YOUR_DB` ; do psql -c "alter table $tbl owner to NEW_OWNER" YOUR_DB ; done
for tbl in `psql -qAt -c "select table_name from information_schema.views where table_schema = 'public';" YOUR_DB` ; do psql -c "alter table $tbl owner to NEW_OWNER" YOUR_DB ; done
```
2020-04-28 17:29:52 +02:00
```sql
2020-04-28 17:29:52 +02:00
reassign owned by "support" to "test-support";
```
