I don't understand - it seems to work for me: CREATE TABLE test(id integer PRIMARY KEY); \dp test Access privileges Schema | Name | Type | Access privileges | Column access privileges ---------+------+-------+-------------------+-------------------------- laurenz | test | table | | (1 row) REVOKE SELECT ON test FROM georg; \dp test Access privileges Schema | Name | Type | Access privileges | Column access privileges ---------+------+-------+-------------------------+-------------------------- laurenz | test | table | laurenz=arwdDxt/laurenz | (1 row) These are the default privileges. ALTER TABLE test OWNER TO georg; \dp test Access privileges Schema | Name | Type | Access privileges | Column access privileges ---------+------+-------+---------------------+-------------------------- laurenz | test | table | georg=arwdDxt/georg | (1 row) The table still has the default privileges, but now it belongs to "georg". Maybe you can illustrate your problem with an example.
