Re: how to check objects dependency??

[Jessica Richard <rjessil@xxxxxxxxx>]

Instead of using drop user username, I used drop user "username" with double quotes, then the error message told me more detail about a specific user defined function. Then I was able to drop that function, then drop this user.

My next question,

How do I check the ownership of the functions. I can't tell the difference between system functions and the user defined functions. 

I am sure in the future there will be times that I need to check the ownership of the functions but not allowed to drop users to see check the dependencies.


Thanks a lot,
Jessica

Try to do the DROP ROLE within those databases. You'll get more detail
about owned objects within the current database, but from outside that
database the info isn't reachable ...
