+# Reassign a database owner and all its objects.
+#
+# But dece, there is REASSIGN OWNED!! Yes and it does not work if the owner is
+# `postgres` because it reassign objects across all databases, wrecking havok on
+# your cluster.
+#
+# This script manually alters the database owner, then for all public
+# (non-system) schemas it reassigns the owner of:
+# - the schema itself
+# - tables
+# - sequences
+# - views
+# - foreign tables
+#
+# Finally it also reassigns the owner of foreign servers. If you don't want them
+# to be reassigned, comment the block at the end of the script.
+#
+# If I'm missing something please let me know. This script is a base work to
+# modify to your needs.
