[TEST REPORT]
[Release]: 9.0beta1
[Test Type]: psql CLI
[Test]: Trying to perform basic change ownership operations using psql; percursor to dropping the postgres role.
[Platform]: Solaris SPARC 4u (E450)
[Parameters]: Objective: replace postgres user with 'admin', then drop 'postgres'. First, trying to change ownerships of system objects...
postgres=# ALTER ROLE admin CREATEDB CREATEROLE LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD '<pword>';
postgres=# REASSIGN OWNED BY postgres TO admin;
- ERROR: cannot drop objects owned by role postgres because they are required by the database system
postgres=# ALTER DATABASE postgres OWNER TO admin;
postgres=# REASSIGN OWNED BY postgres TO admin;
- ERROR: cannot drop objects owned by role postgres because they are required by the database system
postgres=# \c postgres admin
- You are now connected to database "postgres" as user "admin".
postgres=# DROP role postgres;
- ERROR: cannot drop role postgres because it is required by the database system (Makes sense!)
postgres=# REASSIGN OWNED BY postgres TO admin;
- ERROR: cannot drop objects owned by role postgres because they are required by the database system
[Failure]: Dunno?
[Results]:
postgres=# REASSIGN OWNED BY postgres TO admin;
- ERROR: cannot drop objects owned by role postgres because they are required by the database system
[Comments]: Should we be able to get rid of the postgres user 'elegantly'? Is there a way to REASSIGN without DROPping? Perhaps new design precludes this? Documentation opportunity?
