I would like to change the ownership of a database. The only thing I could find up to now, is that it is difficult, but I couldn't find any detailed help.
Connect to that database via psql.
Then, first, update pg_database:
UPDATE pg_database SET datdba=(SELECT usesysid FROM pg_shadow WHERE usename='new_owner') WHERE datname='db_name';
If you also want to change the owner of the tables, update pg_class:
UPDATE pg_class SET relowner=(SELECT usesysid FROM pg_shadow WHERE
usename='new_owner') WHERE relname IN (SELECT relname from pg_class WHERE relname NOT LIKE 'pg_%');
Maybe there is a shorter way, but I know this one.
HTH,
