In your previous post my guess is this: iamunix=# \c postgres was really meant to be: iamunix=# \c - postgres The first changes to database postgres as current user, the second changes the user while remaining on the current database.

I changed to the suggested database which is owned by 'Carlos' and did as instructed. Everything worked fine. Thank you!

You are working on the database 'postgres' not 'iamunix'. REASSIGN works on the current database only. So you just REASSIGNED any objects in postgres. postgres=# REASSIGN OWNED BY carlos TO lauren; REASSIGN OWNED postgres=# DROP OWNED BY carlos; DROP OWNED iamunix=# \d List of relations Schema | Name | Type | Owner +--+--+ public | dept | table| carlos public | dept_id_seq | sequence | carlos public | employees| table| carlos public | employees_id_seq | sequence | carlos public | manager_lookup | view | carlos public | managers | table| carlos public | managers_id_seq | sequence | carlos Change into iamunix and do the REASSIGN. That didn't work for some reason but mostly because I don't follow the concept of what's being done. I've now since changed the database role owner back to Carlos so now 'Carlos' owns both the database and all of it's tables. Can we start fresh and assume I just got the request to change the specified database and all of it's tables, sequences, views,& triggers to Lauren? See above. For future reference including the Postgres version would be helpful.
