Example:
dbadmin=> CREATE USER previous;
CREATE USER
dbadmin=> CREATE USER current;
CREATE USER
dbadmin=> GRANT CREATE ON SCHEMA public TO previous, current;
GRANT PRIVILEGE
dbadmin=> \c - previous
You are now connected as user "previous".
dbadmin=> CREATE TABLE public.a_table (c INT);
CREATE TABLE
dbadmin=> \c - dbadmin
You are now connected as user "dbadmin".
dbadmin=> SELECT table_schema, owner_name
dbadmin-> FROM tables
dbadmin-> WHERE table_name = 'a_table';
table_schema | owner_name
-------------+------------
public | previous
(1 row)
dbadmin=> ALTER DATABASE test_db SET GlobalHeirUserName = 'current';
ALTER DATABASE
dbadmin=> DROP USER previous CASCADE;
DROP USER
dbadmin=> SELECT table_schema, owner_name
dbadmin-> FROM tables
dbadmin-> WHERE table_name = 'a_table';
table_schema | owner_name
-------------+------------
public | current
(1 row)

James Knicely
Vertica Field Chief Technologist
I've had the privilege of working with many database technologies in my career. But after being introduced to Vertica in May of 2011 as a client, I was hooked on the new technology after witnessing a query run in milliseconds that had previously ran for hours on the legacy database we had in place. It was then that I knew I wanted to eventually join the Vertica team, and 4 years later I did! I am currently a Vertica evangelist and am ready to help you get on board! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you have about Vertica and make sure to follow my Vertica Quick Tips!
