I'm confused about the usage (or purpose) of REASSIGN.
If I've understood the docs correctly, REASSIGN changes the ownership of
all database owned by old_role to new_role, as well as all objects on
the *currently* connected database.

It seems to me that the most common task for an administrator would be
to either:

change ownership of all objects on a single database owned by old_role
without affecting any other databases
or
change ownership of all objects on all databases owned by old_role.

As I understand it, I can't use REASSIGN to perform either of these
tasks. Or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Mike
