Change owner of all database objects
Currently all my database objects are owned by superuser postgres .
I need to change owner to a nonprivileged role for all objects in a
database.
I'm using Postgres 8.1 server and client in Windows XP, only plpSQL language
installed in server.
I'm thinking about the following possibilities:
1. Create a loop over all database objects and issue change owner statements
2. Update system tables.
3. Make database dump and restore
4. make text dump and run some global find/replace. I'm not sure which
utility can handle it in windows
Is there any sample how to do it in Windows ?

Search the mailing list archives. I seem to remember solutions involving
shell and perl (and you could install perl if you wanted) but I think
also something in plpgsql.

You can find some plpgsql functions here:

i use this :
CREATE TABLE UnstructuredContent
(
imageId int8,
content OID
);
for importing image : insert into UnstructuredContent values(1, lo_import('image_path'))
for exporting it's the "lo_export" function

John, thank you.
I found that acl_admin.grant_on_all() does not grant privileges on schema:
it does not execute
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA myschema TO myrole;
statements.
So I must execute GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA commands for each schema manually,
right ?
