There is no OWNER clause in ALTER EXTENSION.
If you are trying to do what I showed, you need to as
the'postgres' user
DROP EXTENSION plpgsl in database 'test' and then become
owner 'dev1'
and CREATE EXTENSION plpgsl
And yet PGAdmin3-1.14.2 shows this in the sql pane when
the plpgsql object is selected:
- Extension: plpgsql
-- DROP EXTENSION plpgsql;
CREATE EXTENSION plpgsql
SCHEMA pg_catalog
VERSION "1.0";
ALTER EXTENSION plpgsql
OWNER TO postgres;
It seems to me that this arrangement of including
programming languages in a database is far more awkward
than it needs be. Since ALTER EXTENSION is a PostgreSQL
extension to SQL could not the ability to alter the owner
of an extension be provided as well?
The PgAdmin folks would be better able to help you with the exact reason
for the above, but I suspect they really meant:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/sql-alterlanguage.html
ALTER [ PROCEDURAL ] LANGUAGE name OWNER TO new_owner
So in the category I have learned something new:
template1=# \dL
List of languages
Name | Owner | Trusted
---------+----------+---------
plpgsql | postgres | t
(1 row)
template1=# ALTER LANGUAGE plpgsql owner to aklaver;
ALTER LANGUAGE
template1=# \dL
List of languages
Name | Owner | Trusted
---------+---------+---------
plpgsql | aklaver | t
(1 row)
