ALTER owner to tables, sequences and views on PostgreSQL databases using bash

owner_to.sh

#!/bin/bash

DB=[YOUR_DB_NAME]
OWNER=[NEW_OWNER]

# alter tables owner
for tbl in `psql -qAt -c "select tablename from pg_tables where schemaname = 'public';" $DB` ; do  psql -c "alter table \"$tbl\" owner to $OWNER" $DB ; done

# alter sequences owner
for tbl in `psql -qAt -c "select sequence_name from information_schema.sequences where sequence_schema = 'public';" $DB` ; do  psql -c "alter table \"$tbl\" owner to $OWNER" $DB ; done

# alter views owner
for tbl in `psql -qAt -c "select table_name from information_schema.views where table_schema = 'public';" $DB` ; do  psql -c "alter table \"$tbl\" owner to $OWNER" $DB ; done

#set timezone
psql -c "ALTER DATABASE\"$DB\" SET timezone TO 'Africa/Nairobi';" $DB

Yeah. The first one for tables, then for sequences then for views. Respectively. It'll loop through the various database objects

I've corrected a minor error on # alter tables owner, It was missing the backticks (`)
