Try this: 1. Open psql console as user postgres. 2. Execute SELECT ('\\c ' || datname || '\nALTER TABLE the_table_name OWNER TO ' || rolname || ';\n') from pg_database join pg_authid on datdba = pg_authid.oid; 3. Check results. 4. Select results with mouse. 5. Paste it to postgres console (Middle Button on Linux :)) Kind regards, RadosÅaw Smogura http://www.softperience.eu Paul McGarry <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Wednesday 15 December 2010 02:02:56 > I have a number of DBs that are all the same structure but are owned > by different users and I want to add a table to each of those DBs. > > At the moment I have to either connect to each DB as it's user (which > means digging up it's password) or do it as the DB super user and run > an ALTER table ...
