Hi,

Why does
ALTER EXTENSION name OWNER TO new_owner;
not exist?

I have a bunch of extensions that were installed by a role that I want
to drop. So I thought I would do like I do for other object types:
ALTER <object_type> name OWNER TO new_owner;

But that doesn't exist for extensions. I also can't drop the extension
and recreate it because other objects depend on it.

What can I do?

This is on PostgreSQL 9.3.

Thanks,

Colin

AFAIK, extensions do not have an owner.  They just exist and are available to everyone.
If you are having a particular problem (other than owner) with an extension, it would be helpful to
post a script to illustrate that.  You should be able to drop the role without any problem.
If an error occurs, then please advise on that and include the exact message.

wish to share my fantasy is entirely up to you.
