Thread: Can't Drop Role

For some reason I'm removed all grants and roles from this users
account but I'm unable to remove / drop him from the database as
follows:

postgres=# \du
                                     List of roles
 Role name |                           Attributes
     | Member of
-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+-----------
 cmennens  | No inheritance, Cannot login                                   | {}
 jmadeline | Superuser, No inheritance, Create role, Create DB, Replication | {}
 mrbs      | No inheritance                                                 | {}
 mwilshaw  | No inheritance                                                 | {}
 postgres  | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication                 | {}
 rcube     | No inheritance                                                 | {}

postgres=# DROP ROLE cmennens;

You should alter owner of the functions.

Try "alter function function_name owner to new_owner;
